Keely Quotes

Since I've gotten the iPhone I've been posting some of the cute things Keely says on Facebook. Since the whole reason I'm keeping this blog is to have this kind of thing archived, and because not everyone is on my Facebook, I wanted to repost them here.

Today's talk:

Me: Yes. Are you happy Keely?

K: No.

Me: Why?

Quote of the Day:

Keely (to Daniel cooking in the kitchen): Are you Papa? Are you making dinner?

Papa: Yes I'm Papa and I'm making dinner.

Keely: Why isn't mama making dinner?

Today's quote: (while looking in the mirror thoughtfully) K: I have eyebrows. But I don't know why.

What do you say to that? I told her otherwise her face would look silly.

Mommy misunderstanding of the day: we were in the car listening to keely's music and I was asking her about her day at school. Suddenly I was sure she said "I have to crap!"

I was a little shocked to say the least until I looked in the mirror to see her CLAPing with the music.

Dance Show!

Keely is obsessed with dancing. We watched an episode of Angelina Ballerina and Keely is addicted. She dances all of the time. The video below is her putting on a "Dance Show" for us. These happen about every other day now, complete with outgrown "dancing dress" (Thanks Jessica!).

After she became obsessed with dancing, we tried using it as a bribe to get her to potty train. We promised her that we'd find a dance class for her after she was using the potty. Maybe it was a coincidence, but at about the same time she DID start using the potty. So we found her a dance class. 

For her first class (we hadn't bought her a leotard yet), Daniel came and took pictures. Yeah, we were THOSE parents. I hovered at the little window into the dance studio and watched her the entire 45 minutes. I loved it almost as much as she did. She spent the first 20 or so minutes mostly watching and absorbing. She finally started participating towards the end. Last week she did a good job participating, though she kept adding in twirls where they weren't supposed to be! The pictures below are from her first class.

Playing with Rhythm sticks

Solo dancing on stage (well not solo this time!)

Skipping as part of 1 of the dances. She told us at the end of class this was her FAVORITE part!

Bad Blogger: No Cookie

Sorry I've been so terrible about updating. Let's play a little catchup.

Christmas was great! Keely and Eli are finally both old enough to really play together and they are the cutest ever. Keely had lots of those "WOW" faces as she opened her gifts.

Since then we've been good. Daniel is job hunting, again, which is depressing but we know something will come eventually. God knows where we will be in 2 years, isn't that good enough?

Keely is hilarious. She potty trained herself about a month ago. Just woke up and said she wanted panties and never looked back. My recommendation to any mom frustrated with potty training is just wait. They'll tell you when they are ready and it will be SO EASY.

She is just such a big girl now. She is so independent. And she's just hilarious. See the pictures below for proof. Keely also shocked as all by being the first of the two grandkids to break a bone. She was climbing in and out of her bed during "quiet time" (she's given up naps officially) and fell, breaking both bones in her wrist. She was crazy tough about it. To the point where she broke it on Saturday and we didn't take her to a doctor until Monday. She just didn't complain about it.

This is what happens when she has control over what she wears. 

She is telling Daniel "Take a Picture of ME!"

Finally, I want to leave you with Keely singing you a song. She sings pretty much the entire song. Her new favorite thing is to sing. Sad to say that at the moment she has Daniel's singing voice... But still, there is NOTHING sweeter than hearing her sing. Quality on the blogger is pretty terrible, so if you really want to see it better check it out on my photo website (in the links).
