The end of a summer

The end of the summer was a sad one. After tussles with the 3 foot rule with Kallee in which I eventually lost. I found myself not wanting to go back to work. I enjoyed the summer with them. There were those "days" of course, but overall Kallee and her brother made it a lot of fun to hang out with them.

Kallee is starting to use more words like hi and bye and JJ and daddy and mama and others. She uses her fingers and grunts a lot to convey her messages. She tells you when she is hungry or thirsty or needs to sleep. She tells you when she wants something and she loves to smile and flirt with others.

She is a happy girl.

Kallee likes to sit at the table now with the rest of the family to eat. She does not want to be in her high chair anymore.. preferring to hang out at dinner table in a chair too big for her.

But she is doing pretty well and she eats a lot more now so we are trying to get used to it.

Kallee is also getting used to going to Children's Garden. That is a good thing. I am hoping that over time she will stop crying when mommy drops her off.

The good news is that she has a teacher there that had Jayden and was very good to him and so she is in good hands. I also think that she is becoming friends with some of the girls in the class. That is great.

She is also growing too. She is in a 6.5 shoe now and I think that she is getting a bit taller. She does not fit well into the 18 month clothes size wise, but give her some time.

There was a lot of give and take during the summer and I think that is going to be the theme for Kallee's life. She decided that traveling was not all bad and will only throw a tiff on the way home for the last 45 minutes or so, preferring to sleep then watch shows. I allow her to climb all over me which she likes.

She loves to walk in the stroller, but does not ever want to be locked in. Restaurants are still a huge chore with her as is diaper changing time. She still pesters her brother with no mercy, but he is used to it now and lets her play with him sometimes.

I know that I do not get to see her until the afternoon everyday but when I pick her up I get a little bit of sunshine when she smiles and waves.

My Kallee Boo Boos... a good summer
