Latest Kaybree communicating

Kaybree, you speak full sentences now, you communicate great, but there are still funny things you say. Watermelon is "memmade." Like lemonade. I have no idea why or where that came from.

You've also begun saying "What da heck?" all the time. It cracks me up.

"I can't." is another new thing. I didn't want you to learn that one (cause come on, you CAN do anything. Pretty sure you picked it up from other kids you're around) but the way you say it is just so cute. I took you to McDonalds and you climbed to the top of the play place but refused to go down the slide. You came back down and said "Mom, I can't." I went up with you and you did it--no problem. We've also been transitioning you to a toddler bed because you started climbing out of your bed and refusing to stay and a couple times when you climbed out of the crib you'd come to the door and say "Mom, I can't sleep." You say it so exasperated it just melts my heart. It's freaking adorable!

You ask to call people on the phone all the time. You always want to call Grandma, Brittany, David and Lexis. You also love to talk to Brekken. Once we call of course you hardly say a word. Sometimes you narrate what's going on with Eisley or you try to get who ever is on the phone to "Look!" at something you're looking at. You look like a little teenager, tipping your head and playing with your hair, when you talk on the phone. Love it!

You've decided it's the polite thing to do to serenade anyone who comes to visit so while the adults are talking in the living room you're spinning in circles dancing and singing and hamming it up.You love Twinkle Twinkle Little Star (you know most of the words to that one) but for company Let it Go is the best. You sing "Let it go, let it go! Help me find the way..." so it's a little "Let it Go-I am a Child of God" hybrid.
Other favorite songs are "Old McDonald" and "Popcorn Popping." The other night at dinner you started doing "Once There was a Snowman" pretty randomly so they must have taught you that in nursery. You've always loved to sing and it always makes me smile. You also love Sia's "Chandelier," I think because you watch the music video all the time with Brittany. You sing along to that one when it comes on the radio and you always tell me "Ooo, I like dis song!"
When you're being goofy "Happy Birthday" is a favorite. I think you love throwing anyone's name in there and you know it makes me laugh when you say "cha cha cha!" at the end.

So different

The older you get the more your different personalities are coming out. It's so fun! Kaybree has always wanted to be just like all the big girls she sees. You want to do what everyone else does and you fit right in! You go with the flow very well but you do your best to lead--while following. I know that doesn't make a ton of sense but basically you're the leader of the crowd. You follow everyone else but you don't let anyone step on you. You know you're the cutest thing around and you flaunt it a little bit. You pretend to be shy (because that's the cool thing to do) but you're excited to tell everyone all about your boo boos or the puppies you saw at the mall or anything else going on in your life. This week you started preschool and you were so excited. As soon as we got there you followed Teagan right inside, waving and calling goodbye to me as you went. No hesitation. You know what to do and you do it. You're attending Montessori House in Lehi f...

My biggest challenge

I’m a writer by trade. I’ve always wanted to be a writer. I love to put my feelings into words. Yet, in the last month, I’ve been having a very difficult time vocalizing what’s happening in my life. It’s not because it’s been sad or difficult or anything like that. It’s mostly because there is someone new in my life who I care very deeply for who I feel this deep need to protect. I want to protect his identity, his story, his life. I don’t want to overstep any boundaries or crush any trust. I recognize the life he has lived has not been easy and so I tread lightly on this relationship we’ve built. But honestly—it’s a fantastic relationship. He’s an amazing kid. I’ve been asked to write a blog post for an organization that helps recruit foster parents about the first few weeks of being a foster parent. I’m having difficulty deciding what to write. I feel like anything I write about my case probably won’t apply to their case so it’s not very helpful. I keep writing drafts and then...

Careers

"So I've got a friend, who I met at Frys. He's an older guy. He's got a car he wants to give me and soon he's starting a business so when I'm 18 and a half or 19 I think I'm going to move out and move in with him and work for him." "Doing what?" "I don't really know but he's going to have this business." "OK. Well, good luck with that. Get it in writing and get a title for the car." I walked away just shaking my head. Silently I thought "At least he didn't tell me he's going to become a rapper. He might as well though... A couple hours later I talked with him again. "OK, so I've been texting him and finding out more about this job." "OK." "So he's going to be a rapper. And he says we'll find something for me to do, something I'm good at. Something that will make me $1,000 a day and I can probably start doing it from home--maybe finding new beats online....
