Moments to Remember

Wishing we could stop time to cherish every new, funny and tender moment in our Kenzie's life...

• listening to her sing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star and The Alphabet Song with humming replacing the words/letters she forgets
• when she wears Daddy's hats
• during playtime she will name some of her little school bus figurines by her classmates names and at times mimic her teachers by telling them, "no, Griffin, you sit here..."
• if we are somehow in her way while she is trying to accomplish something, she will barrel through, place her hand on our shoulders and say, "e-cuse me, Mommy/Daddy, e-cuse me!" and be on her way
• feeling bad if she does something wrong and saying, "I sorry, Mommy/Daddy"
• Getting scared by something/someone she will sign that her heart is racing by motioning to her chest up-and-down with her little hand, and say, "I scared, Daddy/Mommy!
• identifying animals and taking pride in mimicking the sounds and movements they make
• waking up in the morning with her arms outstretched, saying "hi, Daddy" or "hi, Mommy" and giving us kisses or nuzzling our faces in hers
• after morning cuddling, she will say, "Coco, Dukie... downstairs, C'mon, Daddy!" and pull at his arm so he will get out of bed
• sometimes she will look at Mommy's face closely and smile and then lean forward and place her little forehead on Mommy's forehead and smiling
• wanting something from Daddy knowing she is not supposed to have it, she will take his hand and lead him to what she wants by saying, "come on, Daddy, this way!"
• out of the blue, if we are at her eye level she will reach out and tenderly press our cheeks in her little hands and say, "hi, Mommy/Daddy, i love you"
• Taking naps together
