So proud!

Kendall has not had an accident since daddy brought her home on Sunday! I am the queen of the potty dance so sometimes I still have to ask if she needs to go (when she's dancing) but all night last night she told me or gramma that she had to go. She also goes through her nap at daycare without wetting herself :) Now I just need to work on nighttime and we're golden. Both at home and at daycare she gets an M&M when she goes potty and now she brings one to me and gramma when we are "big girls".

She is still running and jumping and climbing with that cast. You would never know she had it on. She doesn't even mention it anymore. All her daycare friends and teachers have signed it for her - I plan on keeping it but geesh I'm putting it in a closed bag because that thing is going to be completely disgusting. I think it's more of a pain for me because she screams like she's being tortured when I wash her hair in the sink. And then when I sponge bath her body in the bathroom she gets so darn cold so she wraps herself around me with her soapy wet body. She just keeps looking at the tub going "I get in mommy".

Yesterday her and grandpa were outside "golfing". Grandpa bought her some plastic clubs and they use his practice balls. I think grandpa gets tired out because Kendall hits the ball and then says "get it grandpa get it", so grandpa runs after it and gets it. She still loves her "baby" who is now named baby Keesa after her teachers baby. I bought her some play bottles like Addison has and she is constantly feeding baby keesa and telling me "she pilled mommy" ~ so then I get an old burp cloth and give it to her to wipe her up. Baby Keesa also burps........

She is very quickly learning first names ~ she calls my mom grandma marsh - my dad is grandpa won - i am kitty - daddy is mett - she calls herself what sounds like "kendall the barr"...when I say daddy is matt barr she says no he is METT. Apparently she's the only one with a last name right now. I can ask her who Quinncey's daddy is and she says "unka b" and who is Quinncey's mommy and she says "kwissy". Last night she was talking to unka b (not really but she was pretending) on my phone - he must make her laugh because she would say something and then crack up laughing and say "oh unka b".

Who says you can't have fun at Meijer?

Kendall was a little antsy at Meijer last night so I let her out of the cart. While I was looking at the kids stuff she was being quiet so I let her be. All of a sudden she says - look mom I'm done. This was what she had lined up for me. She has a bit of OCD b/c she lines up her puzzles pieces, her weebles all have to be in a line and facing her. She put cheese slices on the table for cheeseburgers and instead of stacking them, they were lined up on the table just perfect and edge to edge. Heaven forbid she not line up the ducks and frogs in this picture!

First broken bone




So Kendall broke her metatarsal (big toe) a few weeks ago at Sarah's house...she wouldn't keep this special boot on so she now has a bright pink cast that won't come off until May 9th. Kendall had to be put under anesthesia to get this cast on - and she wasn't fond of that but she was out in like 3 seconds. She was back in recovery in like 20 minutes. She let us know she was definitely ready to go. She pulled her little gown off and threw it - pulled her wrist band off and threw it and then got off my lap. The nurse let us leave and it took Kendall a good 2 hours to act like herself. She got so upset in the car that she threw up :( She is sleeping fine and eating fine and the cast is DEFINITELY not slowing her down a bit. And MAN alive does that cast hurt when she steps on your foot or kicks you (not on purpose). I can also tell wherever she is in the house b/c that thing is loud on the floor.
