My friend mommy

I love how Kelsie introduces us to random people we meet. She points to me: "dis, my fiend mommy", then points to herself: "dis, Kelsie". :) She did this several times at the pool today! 

Yes she will always be my sweet little friend. 

Until she is bad, then I am just her mean momma!

A gorgeous Carolina day!

Kelsie had a feeding therapy appointment this morning, so since we were already on campus and the weather was as perfect as it gets, I thought it would be a great time to have a picnic lunch in the quad. So we headed over to Franklin Street, grabbed a to-go lunch at McAlisters and headed over. Kelsie always has a ball when we go on campus but today was the best yet. We had a great time. I captured a few great moments on video. The first as she started chanting "Lets go Tarheels" for the first time ever. (Gotta love having an iPhone handy for times like this!) And the second was just a funny moment as she watched (and cheered) for a group of college students playing frisbee. I didn't even point them out to her or tell her to cheer for them. She just became captivated by them, asking me what they were doing. And then started saying, "Yay, people!" She might just end up being a sports enthusiast like her momma! You just gotta love this kid's spirit. She is so full of excitement ALL the time!

 

 

Sweetest thing ever!

Oh my goodness. Tonight as I was putting Kelsie to bed, she asked if I would sleep with her. I don't always say yes but tonight I did. As I laid there pretending to be asleep, I cracked one open and watched her looking at me. She was just lying there her face as close as it could be, chin propped up in those sweet little hands as she just starred and me. And then she started leaning over and kissing my cheek. And then my lips. And then she'd stare some more. And then kiss me again. And thats exactly what I do to her as she sleeps! Oh but it  was just the sweetest thing ever and moments like these are ones I hope I never forget! I love that girl so much I feel like my heart could burst!!! :) 

Potty training success!

Kelsie has become more interested in potty training over the past few days and today has only peed in the pullup ONE time and that was at nap. The rest of the day, she was dry and only peed or pooped in the potty! Over the weekend, she started telling me more consistently when she had to potty even when we were out. Then today, my mom stayed with her while I worked and said she peed on the potty each time! She wore panties all morning, and never had an accident. Mom put her in a pull up for nap and it was wet when she woke up but she peed again in the potty when she woke up and was dry the rest of the day. She used the potty with me 3 times after I got her after work. I am so excited. Just hoping this success will continue the rest of the week! Hoping she is potty trained by the weeknd...

On a side note, mom brought Kelsie to meet me at work today. She is always quite shy around my coworkers but she likes sitting with me at my desk. She now says things like "mommy, what doing?" as she watches me work on my computer (charting).
