A Lady Says Yes

Carolyn has the cutest "yep" you will ever hear. And she'll say it all day long too. My mother taught my nephew how to say "yes" when he was little, and I was wondering if Carolyn even knew how to say "yes." So one time when she answered "yep," I asked if she could say "yes." She could. And she has never said "yep" again. I miss it.

Laundry Help

I left an empty basket outside the dryer because I was distracted by the phone ringing. After a short conversation, I returned to see Carolyn helping her mama out. She doesn't quit a job until she is done!

Here's a clip of her finishing the job.

I can't wait until she's older and I can employ her all day while I nap or read trashy novels.

A Morning Kiss

Parties

Carolyn's been to birthday parties for her cousins, but Saturday was the first time she went to one for a friend. It was adorable to see the friends all sitting at a kid table with party hats, eating food. Afterward, Carolyn got a goodie bag that she insisted on carrying home like a purse. She had so much fun and loved it all. The best part? She took a long nap afterward.

Like Mother, Like Daughter

In my defense, I was paid a whopping five dollars to do that. Carolyn did it for fun. Also, Jeremy dressed Carolyn that day. I disclaim any knowledge of that outfit.

Catching up

It's been so long. Mostly because I've been lazy. Just not feeling like blogging at the end of the day. Or finding the cord for my camera. Although, we are lacking pictures, Carolyn has been up to some antics lately.

One day I was at my brother's house, when Chandler came down and kept telling us "shoe, shoe." We told him he was very smart and to go play until we finished making dinner. Finally, when time to eat, the two older children had come down, but not Carolyn and Chandler. I went up to herd them down, and as I turned the corner, I saw Carolyn with one foot deep in the toilet bowl, the other dangling over the edge. She looked at me like "how do I get off this thing?" And you probably guessed it, her shoe was soaked! I suggest always investigating something if a toddler comes downstairs urgently repeating something.

If Carolyn can't do something, it immediately becomes hard. She'll repeat the word over and over until one of us come to save her. In her language, it sounds like "harsh. "But what happens when we don't help? Well, I'll tell Carolyn she can't have more rolls, and she reaches for them saying "harsh." Or I tell her no throwing toys and she says "harsh." I really wish I had video of this, because it is much cuter than it reads.

We are very much enjoying springtime, and hope to be able to spend a lot more time outdoors very soon. We hope everyone else (even those in Alaska with fresh snow!) get some warm weather and can enjoy some sunshine.
