Update on the K's

It makes me sad that the cute quotes are coming and going so quickly without having been recorded. I just can't keep up. Due to crazy days, not too many quotes! In fact the kids have been less than cute the majority of the time lately. However I am trying to seek out the positive, and here are some updates from what I can recall in the last few weeks...

Kai - I enjoy even the difficult moments. I will miss having a baby. At times I love that he's about 3 months behind developmentally and still looks and acts like a baby at almost a year old.
He gives us hugs. It is so sweet. When we hold him in our arms he wraps his arms around our necks and squeezes in tight. He does his own unique variation of a crawl. He uses his elbows and toes mostly, and is just starting to use his knees too. But he has yet to get his tummy up off the ground. He loves paper. We've thrown away many ripped soggy book corners.

Kavan - (see Kaylin. he copies everything she does). He doesn't have a lot of his own cute quotes yet, but somehow every single thing he says is hilarious. He sounds so grown up when he says things like "I have a question." He doesn't sound so grown up when he tries to see how much he can get away with talking about poop. I suppose I shouldn't be bothered by his fascination with "all things potty" since he was trained at such a young age. I did get one laugh out of this topic. Kaylin called into the bathroom when Kav was in there "are you going number 1 or number 2 Kav?" and he called back "number 9!"

Kaylin - Now here's where I try not to write a book.
She is learning about gloating. She is learning to not laugh at Kav when he gets in trouble. Upon a recent scolding about this she said "Mommy, my feelings started to laugh."
She is learning how to manipulate me with my soft spot: "Mommy, I'm going to say thank you in French in a little bit when you give me some honey."
She asks often how to say things in French. And, "how do you say French in Spanish?"
She wants a sister. Sometimes she is fine with her doll being her sister.
Many sentences start with "when I grow up" and "when I turn 5". "When I grow up and turn into a mom and a princess..." Is that what's next?! I'm still waiting to be a princess!
She seeks affirmation when she is proud of an accomplishment "Say good job mom!"
In true female fashion she adds many unnecessary words to each sentence. A phrase may just end like this "sometimes maybe if we do that like yesterday when you said we can do that someday i think maybe sometimes, right mommy?"
