Wednesday I had a Hunter day. Kayla went to daycare and Hunter and I had a blast together. He'll be two in June and is getting so talkative. Some of his words are quite interesting though. I walked into his bedroom and said, "What smells in here?" He answered, "I tooted, Gamma." Cracked me up, but showed that he does understand cause and effect.
Hunter has a new joke. “What’s your name, Hunter?” Notice gleam in his eye as he looks you straight in the face, grins, and says, “Kayla.” Sometimes he even says, "My name Kayla." He knows he's telling you a joke and that makes it even more precious.
Yesterday, Kayla asked me, "Grandma, are you a girl?" I said, Yes, but I'm just old. She said, "Mom’s my girl and you’re my old girl." She really liked that because it made sense that she could have both of us be her girl that way. I loved it.
I already wrote about buying Kayla a Mulan dress in the UK because I couldn't find one here. With Kayla's Asian features she looks just perfect in it. I couldn't wait until her birthday and gave it to her now. I asked her why she liked wearing Princess clothes all the time. She said, "Because I am a princess, Grandma. Didn't you know that?" And she flashed her dimples at me. I melted of course.
We spent a good part of the morning looking for the perfect white flower clip for her hair to complete the ensemble. But no luck. So I'll continue looking.
Todd and Jill made taco salads for dinner, then we played with the kids until bedtime (theirs), followed by the computer until bedtime (mine).
