Joint Birthdays

We decided to do a joint birthday party for Kayleigh, Zeb, Hayley and Holly while we were home. Hayley, Holly, and Zeb's birthday was in April and Kayleigh's is in June. The kids had an awesome time and loved opening all the presents. My poor sisters where left in the shadows as my kids took all the attention. I think they still had a good birthday though.

We got this hat at Buffalo Wild Wings and thought it fit Zeb's personality well!

Headbands!

I am trying hard to make up for my lack of blogging this month. I talked to my sister Holly on the phone this morning and she was really on to me about not blogging. She informed that facebook does not keep her updated on her niece and nephew! So Holly this blog is for you. Kayleigh loves to wear my headbands. Most of the time she doesn't like it if i am wearing one. She always wants to take it out. However, she loves to wear mine around the house. Her personality is developing more and more each day. She is starting to perform especially for our friends. Hopefully, soon there will be a blog/video of her singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Also, a random comment. One day about a week ago I was really sick and could do nothing but be on the couch. When mom is sick that means the kids watch lots of videos! That day Kayleigh took this really short nap and woke up crying. Since, I was feeling so bad I just put her on the couch and we watched Veggie Tales the rest of the day. Now, when I put her down for a nap she tells me that if she cries she gets to watch a video. I wasn't trying to reward her for a horrible nap but somehow she got the idea that if she cries when she wakes up, she gets to watch a video. Sorry Kayleigh that isn't going to happen!

Kayleigh's Personality

Lately Kayleigh has started to voice her opinion more and more about things she does and does not want to do. (More than her mother would like!) Today she got mad at me for not going to the slide when we were outside! She really likes things a certain way which is interesting. She doesn't like her highchair tray to be messy and wants me to give her a napkin to clean it off. She also does not like to have her sleeves rolled up which becomes a problem while eating because she gets food all over her sleeves! The other day I had to clean her bedspread and so it was not on her bed. She kept going into her room, pointing to her bed and saying "uh-oh". We are enjoying watching her as each day I feel like her personality comes out more and more.

Kayleigh's New Tricks

Not much has been happening around the Greene house today. I did want to share a story from the other day though. Kayleigh's new thing is to give everyone a high five. Since this isn't a custom in Asia sometimes she gets some unusual looks when she raises her hand at people. The other day we were in a taxi and she started to give John and I a high five. She loves big trucks and there was one behind us in the taxi. She kept raising her hand wanting the driver to give her high five. We couldn't seem to explain to her that he wasn't going to get out of his truck to come give her a high five. She is a funny little one! We enjoy watching her personality come out more and more everyday. It is also fun for John because he can teach her news tricks all the time!
