Clapping, Waving, Letting Go and Cute Conversations!

Kennedy is clapping and waving now. We have been working on these things for a few short weeks. She's been waving for a while, but it wasn't obvious to "outsiders," as it is now. She's very proud of herself. She was clapping at preschool this morning. The kids were doing a number activity and Jordyn's teacher had them clap. Kennedy joined in. It was awfully sweet. She's also standing occasionally without holding on to things. SCARY!!! Closer to walking. She loves to walk holding on to our fingers, too.

Jordyn has had some really funny things pop out of her mouth lately. Today, as we were driving home from preschool, she told me that mommies drink coffee and daddies drink pop. Well, I suppose that is how it works in our house, and she's quite aware of it, but I had to let her know that some daddies drink coffee and some mommies drink pop, etc.

Yesterday she asked for a snack. I gave her some choices. After each one she said, "Ummmm...no thank you." When I got to animal crackers she said, *SIGH* "Well, Mom, I suppose." When Jeremy got home from work she was coloring. A while back I told her that paper and pencils were made from wood, which comes from trees. She pointed to a tree outside and asked Jeremy to get his ladder, cut the tree down (with scissors) and let her color with it. When Jeremy said that he'd rather use a chainsaw, as the scissors would take a long time, she told him it was fine; but he needed to go out and do it for her right now. Quite bossy, this one! Then she told Jeremy if he couldn't find his ladder he could go to the store and buy one.

A few days ago, after looking at our wedding photos, she told me that I was a princess and grandpa (a picture of him walking me down the aisle) was a prince and that daddy was a prince, too. It cracked me up. She told me that she wanted to wear a beautiful dress and be a princess, too. Good thing her dad wasn't here. He's not quite ready to think about that scenario.

Almost daily she asks what her grandparents, daddy, and uncles are doing/where they are. Usually it is during the day, so they are all at work (and her uncles are at school). I told her this and she said, "why is everyone at work and we're at home?" If she only knew how much work she really is!

There have been quite a few other funny things, but at this moment I can't remember. Maybe when I do I'll edit this to include them. She's a riot.
