Kid Convos...

Graham started Tae Kwondo this week!  We are trying it out to see if he likes it before we officially sign him up.  Needless to say, he has told us several times that he absolutely loves it and is having fun!  Last night while he was practicing his form, Gabe was trying to talk to him about what to do next.  Graham stopped to take a break and stood a few feet away from but in front of the fireplace...he stood with his arms folded and was looking at his reflection and Gabe asked, "What are you doing buddy?" and Graham replied, "Looking cool."

Kamryn has completely mastered being able to unlock my phone and call Nana!  I don't have to say a word, she does it herself.  Nana has just come to expect a call from Miss Kamryn Louise on a daily basis.  Not only has she mastered the art of calling, she now likes to open up my camera on my phone and take pictures.  Today while we were in the kids' room, she got my phone camera up and running and was trying to take a picture of Graham "say cheeeeeeesssseee!"  Graham took the phone and looked into my camera and said, "Hey good lookin'!"

I am afraid that all this looking in the mirror and following the Tae Kwondo instructor, is getting to his head!

Kamryn is trying to stretch and test her limits to full capacity!  When she wants something by golly you better be listening because she doesn't give you much time to respond before she is yelling at you.  I got tired of her talking back to me the other day so I put soap in her mouth (happened to me as a kid!) and said, "there Kamryn, what do you think of that?!?  We don't talk back!"  Kamryn looked at me and said, "mmmm it's good!"   SO....there goes that brilliant idea of punishment!  Today she was doing something she was not supposed to be doing and was hiding in the closet.  I told her to get out and she told me "No!" with the biggest smile on her face!  I asked her if she wanted a spankin' and she said "I smakin...I smakin" and patted her own behind!  When I tell her to go to timeout, she smiles, and walks to a corner and puts her nose in the wall....turns around and smiles at me again.  22 months old!!!!  Really....is really possible to start copping an attitude that young?!?!  gimini Christmas!

I'm going to come up with SOMETHING to phase her...I am!  As the journey continues....
