Sweet Siblings

Kaylee really does love her little brother! I think she calls him "Bud" as much as she calls him Andy, if not more. Common phrases are now, "where's Bud?" "Night-night, Bud!" "You're my favorite brother, Bud." So here are a few photos of Kaylee and Bud:

TV Zombies (they get this from their father...)


Kaylee reading to Andy. You can tell from Andy's expressions that "Play Time with Spot" is a very intense reading experience.


Bud loves it when Kaylee spends time with him!

Art Classes 3 & 4

Last week there was a thunderstorm that knocked out power to the art classroom. So class was canceled and they had a makeup day for us on Tuesday this week. So Kaylee had art 2 days in a row! Here she is with her two latest creations.

This is her interpretation of Picasso's "Three Musicians"


This is a row of houses with fireworks bursting overhead. I think she used all black and dark blue glitter for the fireworks. And you can just see her American flag hiding on the left; it's on a flagpole, but that ended up behind the frame.


She's signed up for the next 4 week session of art, which will start the week after next. She's glad to have more to look forward to!

One picture (updated!)

Here's a cute photo of Kaylee from today...

That's all!
Okay, I realize I wrote, "that's all," but remembered that this morning as I was trying to tame her bedhead, Kaylee said to me, "Mommy, don't mess up my spring!" referring to the one perfect curl she almost always has in front. The rest of her hair can be crazy out of control, but somehow that one "spring" is always there!

Cuddly gal

We had to wake up Kaylee to get ready to go to a wedding on Saturday, and Jamie found her all cuddled with her favorite blankies, Froggie and Mimi. Froggie seems to be the toted-around favorite, but she went back and forth between Mimi and Froggie for a while before Froggie completely took over that role. Kaylee gives her a bad rap, but she is often cuddled with Mimi when we catch her still sleeping.


In case you're wondering about all her other blankets, she has quite a few and "needs" them all in bed with her (but just in a pile next to her pillow)...she has the aforementioned Froggie and Mimi, then there's Kitty, Hippo, bear blankie (aka Beary - Barry?), flower blankie, pink blankie, bee blankie, stripey blankie, special blankie and a little stuffed crab and yellow bear, too. So for those of you keeping track at home, that's 10 blankets and 2 stuffed animals she has to have to sleep. Luckily she only needs this at home and when she sleeps elsewhere she can make do with just one or two. My guess is once she moves to a full size bed (she's still in her crib converted to a daybed), she'll have to have the quilt that she uses as covers included in her blanket pile.

Andy is on his way to rivaling her...in his crib (soon to be removed once he starts rolling/scooting more!) he's got Mr. Monkey, Cuddle Monkey, Lambie, an elephant blankiet and Softie (aka Fake Softie, since it's called Softie because it looks like the favorite blanket ("Softie") of a friend of Kaylee's). Oh, and a stuffed dragon. So only 5 blankies and 1 stuffed animal thus far. Halfway there. We're apparently suckers for cute little blankies!

Pool Time!

Kaylee's crazy spiral hair after being at the pool, and baby brother with his big blue eyes!

Stylin'

Kaylee chose her outfit today...of course it coordinates, don't you see the flowers on everything?

Summer Art Classes

Kaylee's taking art classes (8 classes total) through the county again this summer; she has the same instructor as last year, but is in the 3-4 year class (they work independently) instead of the 18-36 month class (a "Mom & Me" class). Her first class was Wednesday afternoon; here she is with the first completed project of the summer!


In case you can't tell, it's a sunset, whale and some sand with a crab on it (though the sand was supposed to go in the corner - now it's more like an island on which the whale is resting).
