...some ramblings

So Kalia has been mentioning the "P" word lately - Pet. Tonight she asked when she could have a cat. I told her, "maybe we could start with a ...." and she said "dog?" Then we went into what is involved in taking care of a dog - dogs need a lot of care, they need exercise, they need to be cleaned up after, fed, washed and lots of playtime. She told me I could help with her with those things... maybe we will start with a fish.

Maya was so funny after our bath tonight. Let me start out by saying that she was grumpy pants Maya this morning and she isn't like this often, but when she is - boy is she grumpy! Tonight she was crazy, adorable, loving Maya. (And this was after running and I mean running around for 3 hours at the park for Zach's birthday). This is how it went down, I was carrying Kalia as a baby from the bath, wrapped in a towel (yes, we do this to both of them every night) and since Maya came out 1st I brought Kalia (the baby) over for Maya to see. I then put Kalia down next to Maya on the bed:

Maya puts her arm around Kalia: "Oooh baby, oooh so cute! How you feeling? Good?" (the whole time Maya's arm is over Kalia and her thumb rubbing Kalia's arm. "Kalia, Best Friend". Then Maya signals to me, "Come on, Come on" wanting me to come in for a group cuddle. Then after she smiles at both of us and says, "OK, now Maya" and she lays on her back for us to come and cuddle her. Kalia & I were laughing so hard! She did this twice- went to cuddle Kalia, called me in to join and then layed back and said, "OK, now Maya" waiting for us to cuddle her. Then she kept telling Kalia, while I got her milk that "Kalia, Friend".

She was definitely making up for this morning. There's nothing like an almost 2 year old to make you feel totally bi-polar.
