That Kelly

Kelly is 20 months...going on 6. Today she went outside and decided that she didn't want her sweatshirt on and so I offered to help take it off. Kelly put her hand up and said, "NO! I do I-self." And she did, she unzipped her sweatshirt and took it off. Kelly likes to do a lot of other things "I-self", such as climbing into her car seat, going up and down stairs, brushing her teeth (but not well), etc. Kelly also likes to participate in the question and answer segment of Dora the Explorer, and usually gets all the questions wrong (but just hearing her answer is just so darn cute and FUNNY!). At the end of the show on marine life there were questions being given with two choices for answers i.e., "How many feet does the hump back whale have, 2 or none?", and Kelly shouts out, "TWO!". The next questions was, "What does the whale eat, plankton or fruit salad?", and Kelly shouts out, "FRUIT SALAD!" (She's 20 months old for crying out loud!!). Today at dinner Jeff was asking Brian and Kate what they did at school, and getting answers out of them was like pulling teeth. However, Kelly chimes in, "At school!" Jeff said, "Oh Kelly, what did you do at school?", and Kelly answers, "balloons!" (she did see balloons at the school). What Kelly wasn't able to tell Jeff was that while waiting for Brian and Kate to come out of their classrooms, she shoved another little boy (bigger than her, mind you) because he was trying to play with the toy she was playing with. We're in trouble when she starts school!
That Kelly, she keeps us laughing! She also keeps life challenging because screaming and screeching continue to be a favorite passtime of hers. Eh, we'll keep her though...her cuteness, personality, wit and love for cuddling make her just a little doll.
