Tooted

This morning, as Kylie ate breakfast, she let out a big ol' toot. She looked at me and said, "Goodness gracious! Was that YOU?"

Art Museum

Last night, Kylie woke up screaming. I went into her room and she pointed to the corner and said, "Tarantula!!!" Trust me, there was no tarantula.

Today, Kylie kept saying there were bees in her ear. I took this as a sign that perhaps she had an ear infection, and I was correct! An ear infection in both ears....so now she's pumped up on antibiotics, benadryl, tylenol and triaminic. Poor kid. She's in a pretty decent mood, though.

We went to the local art museum the other day. It was a really neat program, in which they took the toddlers through the museum, read a book while gazing at the abstract art, and then let them paint their own abstract art on a small canvas. I'm definitely going to go to this every month, as they do a different theme each time. The next theme: Roosters Rule the Roost. I'm not really sure what this will entail, but how could you go wrong?

Fairest of them All!

Today, Kylie was marching around the house saying, "Who's the fairest of them all? Kylie, Kylie! Who's the fairest of them all? Kylie, Kylie!!" She's in a major Snow White phase. :)

Princesses go for a Ride!

Yesterday, Kylie loaded all of her plastic Disney princesses into the back of her Cozy Coupe and started driving them around the house. She said, "Come on, princesses! We're going to WalMart to get SuperGlue! Okay, now we're going to the Fresh Market to get dinner." One unfortunate princess (Sleeping Beauty) was having to ride sticking out of the gas tank....just not enough room in the Cozy Coupe for everyone. Later, she was playing with the princesses and I overheard her saying in a small, princess voice, "Thanks for picking me up, Kylie!"

We went to see "Alvin and the Chipmunks" today at the theatre. It was not as wonderful as "Princess and the Frog," the first movie Kylie went to see at the theatre, but she still enjoyed it. I would not want to sit through it again!

Rocket Dance

Kylie climbed into the crib at my mom's house and started jumping up and down, holding Baby. In a high-pitched voice, she said, "Kylie, you'd better stop! You're going to fall down!" Then in her normal voice, she said, "No, Baby! I'm just doing my rocket dance!!!"

Kylie was playing with some staples and cut herself. I didn't notice until after she had been banging on my mom's paino keyboard and covered the keyboard with blood. Nice! She later looked at her cut and said, "I need to go to the hospital!"

Tonight, I was reading Kylie a bedtime Bible story about God creating the world. At the end, I quizzed her with the question, "Who made the world?" Her answer, "Santa!" Hey, I'm trying!

Kylie is my daughter!

Proof that Kylie is my daughter: Tonight she took a bite of her dinner (salisbury steak) and said, "Oh, that is so good. Just like a margarita!"

As Kylie went up the stairs today, she said, "Wacha! Wacha! That means upstairs in Chinese."

Tripped

At school yesterday, Kylie fell and busted her lip. I asked her, "Did you trip on your shoes?" She said, like I was a complete idiot, "No. I tripped on my FACE!"

Kylie is really enjoying singing Christmas songs this year. Her favorite is Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, which she sings all the time. In Cracker Barrel, after she heard some children singing, she flung wide her arms and started singing/yelling Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer for the entire restaurant to enjoy.
