I didn’t realize I would be having conversations with an 18 month old, but my days are filled with them.
Recently, Kensington has started sitting on her little potty (with her diaper and clothes on) and pottying. That’s great…we just need her to do it without the clothes on. She knows that if she sits on the potty (with or without clothes on ) and goes, she gets a sucker. So now, she’ll run up to me and say she has a dirty diaper and ask for her sucker. “Dirty (pointing to her bottom), sucker please!?”. She hasn’t quite figured out that she doesn’t just get a sucker for having a dirty diaper.
Yesterday, we went to the park and she climbed up to slide. I stood at the bottom to catch her and she shouted “watch out Mommy!”…she was afraid she’d slide into me.
Her new favorite hobby is tormenting my already epileptic, bi-polar dog. She’ll shout “Come here Tulip” and chase her around the house. I really think Tulip is near suicide.
Every single time the phone rings, Kensington says “Hello Papa”. It doesn’t matter what she’s doing, she’ll stop and say that. Since I speak to my dad many, many times a day (thankfully!), she’s right 90% of the time. She thinks it’s so funny that Papa Jay calls Mommy so much (I’m pretty sure Lovie thinks it’s funny too).
My kid cracks me up every day…every day. She says things that completely amaze me (How does she know what a squirrel is? I don’t remember teaching her that but she knows and says squirrel when we see one.)
Seeing her with big cousin Brode this last weekend makes me even more excited about Smith getting a little older. They are going to have so much fun together (and keep me entertained!).

AND….the older they get, the more fun and entertaining those conversations become 😉

I completely understand what you mean, and I'm so happy to share these moments with you. As a parent, you love your children, no doubt, but as they age, you truly fall IN LOVE with them. Of course, as an aunt, I'm noticing that too. Kisses to K & S.
