“I don’t know, either!”

Kylie is all about the “I don’t know?” And “what happened?” When something falls at daycare, they say she will talk to herself, asking these two questions back to back. And she has recently added “either”. Haha! She is also teaching herself knock knock jokes. She’s started knocking on the door in the mornings to come down. And will knock during the day and ask, “knock knock,” “who’s there?”

She is definitely a mama’s girl. She will scream her head off if I leave the room to go to the restroom. She likes me to sit right next to her- preferably holding her whilst using my iPhone to watch her favorite YouTube videos. She is precious and predictable. 

The new centerpiece for our non-existent kitchen table

We are working on transitioning away from so much TV at night. I have been lazy in coming home and plopping her in front of a movie for 2+ hours while I decompress. And I know I need to give some energy into reading with her and playing. Our books right now include “Pete the Cat and the missing cupcakes” as well as “Llama Llama Red Pajama”. Amazingly she was looking at the pictures and remembering the associated words! Almost as if she was reading to me. I had fun the other day taking her to the library with me to pick out books. She did not want to leave! 

I am also finding that it makes more sense for me to both pick her up in the evenings and bring food so that she can eat on the way home. If we don’t get her until 5:30 she is really hungry and screams the whole way home. I’ve thought about bringing milk and food with me to work so that I can prep it before I leave. And it will hopefully be healthier than the Wendy’s kids meal we keep buying her. 

Today is Friday, when I try to take time to rest ahead of a big weekend of watching her! I am so grateful for all she learns at daycare and the interaction she has with her teachers.
