Kai Update

Kai catches Mommy and Daddy showin' each other some lovin' with my camera.

This is me- just about to pounce Kai. Scary me, huh?



Here we are playing with the camera again!

Kai Update

1. I was scolding Kai by giving him the 3-count warning, when he surprised me by counting from 1 all the way to 10, in order!
2. He is quick at matching A to Z letter to letter (about 3-minutes).
3. Can correctly point out 8 of 10 objects on the first trial (diamond, square, circle, star,etc.)
4. Tricks me into giving him a Thomas Train by dumping his poop out from his diaper into the potty trainer. (The deal was he poop directly into the trainer!) I caught him in his devious action.
5. Kai imitates the growling huffing sounds I make when I get frustrated.
6. Exclaims "oh CRAP!" when he gets frustrated. Oops, my fault- I didn't realize I would say that often.
7. Demands I sing him a song by Renee Olstead "Boat to China" so that he can sing along too just as well by filling in the blanks I make.
8. I caught him kissing Shelby (the 15-month old girl at daycare) on the cheek and then lift her shirt up to poke her belly button. Now I can see reason why Shelby likes to bite Kai.
9. Will hide behind pillows with me when daddy arrives home. But cannot stop giggling and gives us away.
10. Will get his own breakfast by climbing the counter to get a box of cereal up in the cupboard or a bowl of strawberries off the counter.
11. Tried to make us coffee by grinding brown sugar in the cofee grinder.
12. Will bring daddy coffee in a travel mug, but caught stealing sips along the way from kitchen to bedroom...and then laugh.
13. Ask him how old he is. Response "two old!"
14. He's every body's buddy at daycare. The mothers tell me that he's their favorite. I don't even know whose kid belongs to which mother.
15. Can escape from his crib. When he takes naps, I leave the side rail down, so that he is given the privilege to clamber out when he wakes. This has worked well so far.
16. His night schedule is messed up. He will sleep at around 9pm. Last Saturday he kept me up to 3am so that he could eat snacks and watch TV snuggling next to me on the couch.
17. Today, he shocked himself. I don't know how but I heard a sound like bubble wrap popping while he played with my massage chair. I think he might have put his mouth on the cord attachment. The sudden loud crying was a hint too. Now when I say don't touch that you want to get "electrocuted"? He will drop the object.
18. Learned how to escape from the minivan by activating the sliding door, and then run.
19. Likes to freak me out by running his fastest to the top of the stairs, then suddenly stop.
20. Did I tell you just how tired I am chasing after him? He is not just a handful, but two...no three...no four handfuls, yup.
