Water Water Everywhere!

Lets face it my kids love water. My sister Holly gave them this giant beach ball for their birthdays. Zeb thought it was pretty wonderful! Kayleigh would run by the ball like a sprinkler and squeal. As a result Zeb learned to squeal too! After they got bored with the beach ball they headed to wash Holly's car. Zeb basically just played in the bucket of soapy water. Kayleigh washed the same place on the car about 15 times. I'm pretty sure that place will have some extra shine for a while. We ended our water fun with a ride down the slip n slide the next day. Kayleigh, being herself, did not want to go down the slide and hit the grass. However, Zeb thought it was pretty awesome. John would sling him down and I would catch him on the other end. He would attempt to crawl up the slide with very little success. It was a lot of fun!

Pool Fun!

Zeb and Kayleigh received a pool for their birthdays from their Aunt Holly so we decided to have a little fun in it yesterday. It is a pretty fancy pool because it also has a little blow up slide that goes with it. They had a blast! Zeb mostly splashed and since he is into pulling up on everything these days, he spent most of his time pulling up on the side and then plopping back down in the water and laughing. Kayleigh spent most of her time sliding down the slide and jumping up and down with her friend Mason. We hope to have more days of the pool. I'm still trying to figure out if it would be worth it to take this pool back with us to China. I'm pretty sure this is a bad idea. I haven't even asked John but I'm sure he will think I am crazy.

Playground (Part 2)

Kayleigh is playing on the slide here. After being exhausted we headed over to KFC for some lunch and cupcakes to celebrate Juliana's birthday. Kayleigh was on her last leg here and almost fell asleep in the high chair!

Playground (Part 1)

We just celebrated Juliana's (Kayleigh's friend) birthday today. We found an indoor playground at a local shopping mall that kids can play in for a small fee. This includes a huge jungle gym with tubes, two levels, slides and a big room full of balls. As you can see Kayleigh absolutely loved playing in this area. We are very glad we found this place. I have a feeling we have not seen the last of the indoor playground!

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.
