It's all about Kaia!

Kaia is next! What a sweet/stinker girl this one is! One minute she is the cutest most adorable little thing you have ever seen and the next minute she's the "devil's child" (that's what Thayne calls her when she's in one of those moods!). She is quite gifted verbally and bosses everyone around all of the time. She also isn't shy about telling you what she wants and when she wants it. The best time to spend with her is at night because she turns in to a cuddle machine and plasters her body to yours and gives tons of hugs and kisses. She doesn't give those things freely and only gives them to a select few when she's ready. I'm glad I happen to one of those chosen few (Thayne's one too. I think he's higher on the list than me!).

Kaia loves to pretend. She can make a family out of anything. I gave her a piece of paper and she rip it into two pieces and one piece was the mommy and one piece was the baby and the baby had poopy pants that the mom didn't want to change them. Sounds like she got that scenario from a real life experience! We got the Little People out of storage when we got here and she loves to play with them. She can play for a long time in her room if she's surrounded by those Little People!

Kaia is also the biggest teaser ever around. One of the worst things she has done is moved her high chair right in the middle of the kitchen, sat in it, and every time one of the kids came close to her she would reach out and pull their hair until they screamed. How does a two year old think of things like that? Of course, she's smiling the whole time. She even laughed one time! Scary!! She loves to grab the kids's toys and run with them and when they catch her and pin her down to get the toy she comes crying to me and says that she had it first. I think she likes to tease Josie the most because she gets the most reaction out of her. Josie is so upset when Kaia takes her toys that she can't catch Kaia right away because she's crying and screaming. I really try to act like the adult and discipline her but I always have to turn my head for a moment to wipe the grin off my face and compose myself.

Kaia is constantly talking and asking questions. She has great grammar and understands so much for toddler. We are so impressed with how advanced she is and laugh everyday over something she said or did. One of her favorite things to do is hold on to the dog's tail and follow him around where ever he goes. She doesn't try to direct him, she just holds and follows. He lets her do it and knows that he has to keep walking around until she gets bored. Our dog's name is Cooper but Kaia calls him "Coopy". She rolls all over him, lays on him and makes him take her dolls for a ride. He puts up with her and never refuses! They have a special relationship!
Kaia was our special blessing during law school. She was the highlight of that time in our lives. I think she will always have a special place in Thayne's heart as the "law school baby"!
