23months and counting!

Kailah always knows when it is Sunday because I will put on my dress and she says; "churhcy, bye bye".  During sacrament today she sat so well and she loves going through the routine of things trying to remember when to fold her arms for prayer and when to get the hymn book for music time.  She just started showing an interest in taking of the sacrament so I have started letting her take it.  It was fast Sunday today and she said Amen at the end of everyone's testimonies.  She also sang along with all the hymns we sang.  She was even able to pick out some words after we would sing them.

Kailah is our big motivator to say prayers every time before we eat meals.  We are always pretty good about saying them at dinner time but she is the first to fold her arms and say "amen?" as a reminder like hey mom and dad we need to say prayers.  And breakfast and lunch rarely get eaten without a prayer being said.  Today she even said her own prayer blessing her food and "gnika" lol!  It was the CUTESTEST thing ever.  I wish I could record those moments and have them available for replay whenever because they are the sweetest moments.

Potty training is on a brief hault at the moment.  after 3 weeks of doing so good, Kailah decided she is just too independent to be told what to do.  She really enjoys going to the potty on her own time and for a long time would just resist it even if I ask her if she needs to go potty.  She still goes potty several times a day but we are back in diapers and pull ups for the sanity of myself!  She does not like having soiled diapers and since being back in diapers has gone poop in her diaper in the morning 7 different times and took her diaper off and smeared her poop all over her crib before I have a chance to wake up and get in her bedroom to stop her.  She just hasn't gotten to the point where she tells me before the fact that she need to go the bathroom and I'm sure as soon as she does she will be official potty trained. 

Kailah is learning so many new words.  We have flashcards on my phone that she does daily and she knows almost all of the animals on it and the transportation vehicles and some other random things like foods and body parts. 

She is such a huge helper and loves to help clean up and do dishes and fold clothes and put things in the garbage can and whatever other things she can help out with. 

It's been so nice knowing most things she wants and being able to communicate so much better now that she knows more words and know how to tell me exactly what she wants.
