Hey.. She's learning!

This weekend I've noticed a few new things McKenzie must have picked up at daycare.

She's totally doing the motions to "Head, shoulders, knees, and toes!" She is pretty aggressive about it, too. She bangs her knees and says, "knees." You see in an 18-month old's world "knees" is the code word for the entire song. So, picture a lot of head banging, shoulder swinging, and knee slapping- while screaming.. KNEES! Have you pictured it? Good. Hysterical, huh? Too bad I haven't been able to capture this new cuteness on film. Yet.

She's also perfected the word MINE. Everything is hers. And now she is no longer afraid to let us know. Mine. Mine. Mine. The remote? Hers. The TV? Hers. My toothbrush? Hers. Amazing that this little person controls the household with one little shout of a four letter word. I should have reminded her that four letter words are forbidden here at home.

She's still perfected the art of the drop-off scream. Each morning I drop her off she clings to me, cries her little heart out, and makes it known that she believes her little world may be possibly coming to an end. Thankfully, her daily report cards tell me she is doing well after her morning fits. *Sigh*

Just remember that old saying, "This too shall pass!"
