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.

Eisley babysitting

Eisley had her first solo babysitting gig tonight. She and kaybree babysat together over the summer and that same family asked if Eisley could babysit for them and Kaybree babysit for their friends while they went to a game night tonight. Kaybree’s job ended up canceling but Eisley still got to go. The kids were already asleep when she got there, so she just had to sit around and wait. The job was supposed to be done at 10:30 but I got a text from the mom around 10:20 asking if 11 would be OK.  “I texted Eisley but didn’t hear back so just wanted to make sure it was OK!” I said yes, of course, but then my mind got spinning. Why didn’t Eisley text back? I sent her a text. No response. I called. No answer. I called again. Nothing.  By then, I knew Eisley had to be asleep and I also know Eisley sleeps like a rock. I didn’t want them coming home to that.  Their house is right around the corner so I walked over and prayed they left the door unlocked. They did! As soon as I wal...

I did it!

Today, I achieved a great professional achievement. I got my CFRE. It’s a big deal.  Brendon is out of town so I took the girls to get sushi to celebrate. This was our conversation on the way home.  *Passed by a Husband and Wife Law Team billboard Eisley: That dude wears suspenders. I would not call them first. I would call Jonathan first.  Me: I would call Brother Briggs first because he’s a criminal defense lawyer. Jon does HOA law which would not be very useful. Eisley: Ooo yeah. I feel like I’m going to be that kid some day. I’d call Brittany because she has experience, then Bro Briggs.  Me: You’re going to be the one to call to hide a body?  Eisley: Yeah. I’ll probably already be hiding one. I feel like I’m the Brittany, Aspen is Brodie, Kaybree is Dad.  Kaybree: Hmmm, I’m not sure. Aspen—do you like girls? Aspen: What? Kaybree: Just, would you like to marry a girl one day? Aspen: No.  Eisley: If you did, we would love her.  And then we all l...

Brendon

I scheduled my original screening on Friday and had a big mental crash Saturday night. Feels like I can't breathe. I was counting down the hours until I could just get to my appointment. I also couldn't keep the tears from my eyes and finally Brendon noticed. He held me and let me cry and just shrugged and said "We'll figure it out." I know we've always had that relationship. That no matter what comes in our marriage, we will figure it out, but it feels deeper now. Because no matter what happens to me he is for sure stuck with me! Haha Our lives are too deep, too interconnected to ever take a step back. How lovely it is to know he's mine forever and ever. He gave me a blessing and I woke up feeling better. And now my appointment has been pushed back an entire month, to a time when Brendon cannot come with me, and that anxious feeling is creeping in again. But I can breathe through it. Because we can do this. We'll figure it out.
