"Nobody Puts Baby Boost In A Corner" Just Doesn't Have The Same Ring To It

If you're wondering why these blogs are becoming more of a review of daily dialogue with Kalaya it's pretty easy to explain. Umm.. I have to actually DO work at work sometimes people! I work for a tax software company so needless to say- I'll be busier then a one armed paper hanger from January to April. I try to still blog with things that are easy to get out here for ya'll. (No, my charming wit and writing skills don't just flow out of me:) Those processes take time)

So, without further ado-----

1.) Kalaya singing a new version of The Farmer in the Dale:

Kalaya: The farmer and my tail. The farmer and my tail. Ho, ho drop and roll- the farmer and my tail.

2.) Kalaya's daddy surprised her yesterday by bringing a babydoll to her school on his lunch break. She was so excited when I picked her up that afternoon. She was telling me all about she and the baby did that day. So I asked her " What's your baby's name?" Normally she calls all baby's just 'Baby'. She's never named anything something else. So I wasn't suprised when she said "Her name is Baby". But I couldn't help but laugh when she made an executive decision to change the baby's name 2 mins later.

She changed the baby's name to Baby Boost.

I know your thinking- "Ok? so what?" Well, Baby Boost is a cable channel that she watches at the babysitters house.

3.) Kalaya and I went out to eat Friday night with Grana and KK to Chili's. Since it was Friday night, there was a loooong wait for a table. So we settled down in the front lobby to wait it out. The lobby up front is all glass with glass doors so Kalaya was looking out the windows at the people standing outside. Mom and KK and I were talking when we noticed Kalaya was looking really intently out the window- her nose almost to the glass. We didn't know what she was doing until she turned around, saying really loudly and pointing through the window- " WHO'S BOOTIE IS THAT!?" Needless to say- the entire lobby got a kick out of that one!

And Remember--- You Must Never Feed It After Midnight!

Is there something awry when your own child can creep you out during a seemingly innocent car ride?

This morning- it would seem that Kalaya took the opportunity to channel her inner mogwai...(yes that mogwai- that's the exact one I'm talking about)

...and pull a Gremlin-esque moment out of thin air.

This is the conversation that occured-

Kalaya: Mama. Mama (waiting until I turned around to look at her)
Me: What baby? (turning around)
Kalaya:I'm growing.
Me: I know baby! You're getting to be a big girl now! (turning back to look at the front)
Kalaya: No mama. Look. (and as this point I swear the child spoke as quietly as possible and didn't blink her eyes for the rest of the conversation)
Me: (turning around again) What baby?
Kalaya: I grow when it gets dark. (whispering and still staring)
Me: Huh?
Kalaya: I grow when it gets dark. (eyes still as wide open as Bernie Mac's)
Me: (laughing nervously) What do you mean baby?
Kalaya: When it's dark I grow. Lots. You'll see. (voice still as quiet and serious as possible)
Me: (honestly creeped out a little bit) Hey! Why don't we sing Baa Baa Black Sheep! Ready? Baa Baa Black Sheep have you any wool.........

Coincedence? You tell me!

(no seriously-- tell me. I'm a little nervous about going home tonight)

What´s Mine Is Yours

Story 1:

Kalaya was running through the house pretending she was a bird the other day (which in my book is waaaay easier on the ears then pretending she's a dinosaur). She was running around and flapping her 'wings' when she tripped and fell to the floor. I said " Uh-oh....crash and burn!" She just laughed and got up, running around again.

About 2 minutes later I heard her fall down in the living room again and heard her exclaim

"Uh oh! I crashed my burn!"

Story 2:

Kalaya let me know that she had to go pee-pee yesterday. So I took her in the bathroom and, to show her that peeing is great fun, I said " Ok Kalaya- I'm going to go pee pee too- like a big girl!".

So she and I sat down on our respective potties when Kalaya suddenly asked "Let me see". Obviously, I was not going to let her see but I was trying to think of a good response since she is 2 and doesn't know any better.

So I said " No baby, we don´t show our privates to anyone. You just go ahead and pee-pee and so will I. And when we are finished we can go play".

(As you can see I was trying to throw a bribe in there to get her off of this highly uncomfortable subject)

To which she responded most philosophically....

¨Mama, we are SUPPOSED to share! You´re supposed to share your privates¨.¨and then gave me an all knowing look.

Sometimes.....alot of times, you just don´t know how to respond to these things. Sigh.

There Be Doubloons In Them There Treasure Chests!

Kalaya woke up this morning at 6am (sigh) and walked into my room. I pulled her into bed with me and told her to lay down. She did lay down ever so quietly beside me and didn't say anything for a minute or two. After a bit, she slowly rolled over, grabbed my face between her two little hands and gently started shaking my head. I was trying to figure out what in the world she was doing until she spoke.

" Do you have any gold in your head?"

She was simply staking out any claims she may need to make in the forthcoming days on the gold mine which is my head.

I told her that " No I do not have any gold in my head". She was quiet for a moment- you could tell her mind was vibrating with new ideas since her plans for searching for gold were now on hold.

She then said, " Let's watch cartoons!". And again, I informed her, " No, it's not time to get up yet."

To which she responded-

"Are you kidding me!!?"

Ah- you've got to love the innocent(???) sass of a 2yr old!

(Are these the faces of a girl who's willing to give up her gold that easily? I think not!)

A Night Time Prayer- By: Kalaya

Thank you God for mommy.

And Daddy.

And Ne-Ne.

And the rain.

And our food.

And dinosaurs.

And Mickey Mouse pancakes.

And mommy.

And mommy.

And mommy.

And skkkkkkkkkkkkrrrrrrreeeeaaaattttt ( coughing, hacking noise that she likes to make. Also, supposedly, said hacking noise lives at Grana's house.)

AHHHHHH-MEN!

The New Year's On Like Donkey Kong!

Well I'm back (like you know what- Aaron) and I couldn't be more relieved. Christmas vacation was wonderful but it's always nice to sit quietly at your desk sometimes and just veg. We were definitely busy for these past two weeks. Kalaya had 3 christmases and therefore racked up more toys then Nixon's got pills. The 'piece de resistance' for her this Christmas was the pink Barbie 4 wheeler that she absolutly loves (to not drive) and likes to pack thing in it's back seat (while not driving).

We went to basketball games, rode train rides, cooked cookies, got pictures made, and visited everyone!

It's been go, go, go since the day I left and honestly...I think I may have to get back into the blogging spirit to get the humorous juices flowing but, never fear! We'll be back to our regularly scheduled program as soon as I can relearn how to type, use my email, and breathe recycled cubicle air again without passing out.
