They Keep Us Smiling

Kinsley is such a hoot! We are always laughing at the things she does and says. Having a two year old sure does make life more interesting. The other day I told Kinsley she needed to get some clothes on if she wanted to come to town with me. She came down dressed like this...
... and said, "Mom, I ready!" I asked "Where are your clothes?" to which she replied, "No clothes, I go naked!

One morning, I was doing Kinsley's hair when she found this red headband. She put it around her head and said, "Look mom, I am like Jesus." I puzzled over this for a minute and then realized that two nights previous we read about Christ's crucifixion and showed Kinsley a picture of Jesus on the cross with a crown of thorns on his head.

On another occasion, Kinsley asked me, "Mom, where my spiggy meter?" I had no clue what she was talking about. She asked me the same question ALL day long. When Eric came home I asked him what a spiggy meter was. He didn't know what I was talking about so Kinsley asked him and he said, "Oh, she is asking where her sphygmomanometer is." I gave him a blank look. "It is the blood pressure cuff in her doctor kit." Yeah, we can see what Eric is teaching her in his spare time.

When Kinsley was a baby I would often hear people say, "I have such an easy baby!" I just figured they were all lying because Kinsley was so awful. Now, that we have Aila I can honestly say, "I have such an easy baby"! She is so happy and puts up with a lot of abuse from her big sister (yesterday I caught Kinsley sitting on Aila's legs and giving her a "shot") Even with all the abuse she ALWAYS gives Kinsley the biggest smiles.

Aila LOVES tummy time...

... for the first 7 minutes...then she has a melt down!
