Kayden might have been slow to crawl and walk, but my little princess has been talking since she knew her ability to produce sound! I love it, but it does get a little tiresome! She orders me around all day. I can’t pretend I don’t know what she wants, because she is very deliberate in her requests/demands. She can tell me when she wants to go outside and walk or take the dogs for a walk. She can tell me if she wants to eat and what exactly she wants to eat. You might think this is good because it takes the guess work out of making meals, but if you didn’t know, kids don’t like to eat the healthy veggies and grilled chicken you’d like them to! They like fishies, apple sauce, cookies, crackers, and candy. And my dear Kayden can tell me about each of these things ALL day long! Today during her nap I decided to make cookies. I did this during nap time because I purposely did not want her to see me making cookies because I knew I’d hear about it all afternoon. So while she napped I made the cookies, packed them up, and cleaned up the paraphernalia. After her nap she had a snack and we went on a long walk. When we came back from walking the dogs she helped me get their food and must have seen the boxed cookies sitting on the stove. I was sitting and playing with her dolls when she runs over to me and starts loudly saying “Cookies. Cookies. COOKIES!!” I was sure she could not be talking about MY cookies, so I asked her to show me. Sure enough, she was!! Wow, not only can my child repeat everything, but she now notices things in her environment that she wants. I better get real creative with my hiding spots!!

And here’s Ms. Chatty just chatting!
