I’ve been trying to get to the computer as soon as I can after a conversation with Kaitlyn, because the things that come out of this girl’s mouth! Last night after dinner, I was in the kitchen doing dishes:

Kaitlyn (running into the room at top speed): “I wanna watch teeVEEEEEE!!!”

Me: “Okay, ask one of your brothers to put a show on for you in the back room.”

Kaitlyn: “Nathan is watching Avatah and he won’t change the channuh! You have to HELP ME!”

When she decides she wants something, her mind is made UP. Like when she insisted she needed to wear Nathan’s socks and shoes:

This morning while she was laying on the changing table, she brushed her bangs out of her eyes:

Kaitlyn: “I need to get a haircut!”

Me: “Okay, I can trim your bangs if you’d like”

Kaitlyn: “I wanna go to the place where Nathan got HIS haircut. Or I can make scissors with my fingers like this and go snip! snip! snip!”

I’m keeping all scissors far out of her reach lest she decide to do a home haircut :) When this child decides to do something, that is IT, like when she decided she needed a place to put her keyboard. She found a box and a chair and got herself all set up. Remember, she is only TWO:

The other day she came running up to me and announced that it was her birthday (it wasn’t):

Me: “oh really? what’s going to happen on your birthday?”

Kaitlyn: “I’m going to get presents and a cake and go to Chuck E Cheese and have a parade!”

The first two? Definitely. The last two? Yeah, um…no. Although, look at these eyes. Do you think it’s easy to say no to THESE eyes?:

As frustrating as ages 2 to 3 can be, there is also something magical about the innocence of 2-3. Part of me wishes I could freeze her like this forever. Except she would need to get potty trained first ;)
