It's Been a Few Days

Easter is over and Kenna enjoyed spending time with her family. She looked really cute in her dress. She likes to call it her "Princess Dress". She had such a busy Easter Sunday, spending time with her dad's family and then mine. She loved hunting for Easter eggs. She found many. She enjoyed playing with Ashlyn and asks everyday to play with her.

Potty training is not going well, but I have realized I must go at her pace. I praise her when she sits on the potty (1 sticker for her chart) and when she goes #1 or #2 she gets 2 stickers. That makes her very happy. Oneday she will be out of diapers.

She loves to read and the other day she said ABCDEFG--I was amazed. Didn't know she knew that many. She has become the little cook, enjoys helping grandma and mommy in the kitchen. She is growing up:)

Swim Class

Kenna had her first swim class for the year and she did well. The water was very cold and she was ready to get out as soon as we got in. By the end of the class she was splashing and kicking her feet. Her friends, Molly and Ashlyn, took the class too. Ashlyn's lips were blue and Molly went underwater!! Hopefully by Saturday the water will be warmer.

We are still working on potty training, it is such a slow process. The other day we were at Babies R Us and she said she had to go potty. We went to the potty and she used the big girl potty there. So, eventually one day we will have the process mastered.

She has a slight allergy to dust mites. So now another doctor has to look at her for sinuitis. We see Dr. Finch on the 14th of April, so maybe then we will have answers to the constant runny nose.

Doctor Time

Kenna went to the doctor last week and has another sinus infection and ear infection, so we have to see an pediatric allergist tomorrow at 1:30. This should be an interesting event. She has been doing well with potty training, several accidents but several dry periods as well. She is wanting to wear her big girl panties which is a break through itself. I am so proud of her.

I'm going potty!

The latest update, Kenna has been in big girl underwear every evening from 430 to bedtime and had no accidents. She uses the potty and loves putting her stickers on the sticker chart. So, we are making slow progress!!!

We went to the doctor yesterday and have yet again another sinus infection and ear infection. Now we have to see an allergist. So, this should be interesting. However the good part is we will find out what she is allergic too.

She had a fun night last night playing with Uncle Scott. They played Barbies and watched Madgascar 2. Great movie!!!!

First Kiss

Kenna has so much fun at the park last night with Aiden and Sophie. They played on the swings and in the dirt of course. As we were leaving, Aiden ran over to hug her and gave her a kiss. Her first kiss at the age of 2 1/2. So cute!!!!!!

Oh, and she went potty twice last night and we had no accidents in the big girl panties!!!!!! I think we are making progress..........

The word of the day for 3/18 was GOOD. She has a new word everyday, a daddy thing, GO HIM!!! And yesterday's word was GOOD as she screamed it at me and had to show me the flashcard. Today's word is HAPPY.

Pictures Were a Hit

Hello Everyone---

We have had such a busy week!!! She had her Easter pictures on Tuesday and was such a ham. She posed like she was a model and then was so upset when it was over. She loved her picture taken in this white wicker chair. She kept telling the photographer she was a princess in her dancing shoes (she had no shoes on).

She had a playdate with her cousin, Ashlyn. She loved playing outside with her and in the toybox with her and then pushed her in the baby stroller. The laughed and played great.

Then we haven taken a long walk this week in the stroller and she cried when it ended. Played with her bubbles and sidewalk chalk, read books, and watched Horton Who. She loves that movie, but the vulture is a "scary bird".

My Heart Hurts.....

Well it is official, Kenna has realized that Ashlyn her cousin is here to stay. We had our first family dinner(Aunt Sam, Uncle Dave, Ashlyn, Grandma, Poppy, and Uncle Scott) on Sunday and as Kenna says, "Her heart hurts". She realized she is no longer the baby nor the center of attention and she didn't know quite how to take it. She played in the bedroom by herself during dinner, because she couldn't sit in her seat. It was a sad day for her.

However, on Saturday her and Ashlyn were the bestest of friends holding hands in the car and playing in the stroller while we were walking. They did very well together.

Kenna surprises me everyday. She is truly growing up. We went to the park yesterday and she went up and down the slide a 100 times. She was such a big girl until it was time to leave and of course the temper tantrum occurred. Then I started to cry last night and she said "It's otay Mommy, I wuv you". Hugged me and wiped my eyes to get the tears away. She is truly a blessing!!!!
