Things I love About Being a Mom

We went to Walmart tonight to pick up a couple of things and it was right about Kasiana's bedtime. Well, she wanted just about everything in sight for her and her brother. I finally got her to stop throwing fits, but I couldn't leave the store without buying her last request. She know how to sucker me... "Mom, Dr. Oz says we need to buy oranges and eat 'em." I went over to get them, and next to them she saw the grapes. You can guess... "Dr. Oz says we need to buy grapes..." We didn't leave with grapes...

A Mommy's Brag Spot: Things that our little chiquis can do before she turned 2

-Toss the volleyball back and forth with her Papi. I wonder where she got that from? We watch Ruben play Volleyball in his league every Friday night
-Do the splits... "I do splits!" She loves to dance and do the splits... She's almost two a front summersault, but she flops to the side instead of rolling completely over
-Tell us about her day using phrases: "Mail the letters, feed the duckies, go to H-E-B (the grocery store) -- Just a few highlights out of a typical day
-Loves to have dance parties when Mommy and Papi come home from work. Her favorite songs are what she calls "Shake Your Body" (A hip version of the hokey pokey) and another song that sounds like Santa Claus is singing it
-Helps mommy cook and clean. She loves to stir and add things to the pot while I'm cooking
-Sings parts of and does the hand motions for "Popcorn Popping on the Apricot Tree" and "Once There Was a Snowman" - two of her favorite songs
-Sings the ABC song... When she gets to now I know my ABC's she starts back again at HIJKLMNOP for a couple more times through
-Sings the whole song, "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star"
-Speaks in full sentences... Just tonight she got in her playhouse and said, "I need a pillow"
-Count to ten... Of course she goes from 1-6 at times and then counts from 6-10 at other times

Some of Kasiana's Favorite Things...

-Buying new books at the thrift store with her Nita
-Bedtime rituals: Reading books, singing songs (True-la-la-lou is one of her favorites... a song my grandma sang me that I think she made up. It named everybody that loved me...) Of course we always list her Nannaw and Pa in the song. We miss them so much
- Getting treats from her Papi when he comes home from work. She checks his pockets

Cute Things About Kasiana...

Kasiana is so loveable. In the play area at the mall, she'll walk up to kids that are playing with her or around her and stretch her arms out, saying "hug", to give them a hug. They don't always know how to take her.
Kasiana loves her babies. We have to take them everywhere. She is a great little mother and her family is getting bigger by the day. Grandma just bought her a new baby. It doesn't have a name yet, but she calls her "new baby". New baby might be going back to the store. The day mom coincidentally bought her, I saw her on the news that morning with outraged mothers. She talks and it seems that one of her voice tracks says, "ISLAM IS LIFE". At first it was pretty funny. Now it is annoying. One of her favorite babies she has named "Wikki". We're not exactly sure where that name has come from.
Thursday, I took Kasiana out to run errands. We stopped by a dance studio, since Kasiana's favorite show is the Wiggles. She is always dancing. She was so excited, and I could hardly keep her from running out on the dance floor. When she saw her Papi, she was so excited to tell him. She said, "They dance... they dance"
On Friday when I came home from work, Nita showed me how Kasiana has learned to climb up into her high chair all by herself. She is going to be a gymnast!
Nita took Kasiana to What-A-Burger for lunch. The lady that worked there was commenting on how cute she is. The lady asked when her birthday is. Nita told her that it was in March. The lady responded that her birthday was in March too. Kasiana said, "Happy Birthday to you," in a singing voice.
