Jaida the Bully

I had to sign an incident report for Jaida at Daycare on Friday. She punched one of the boys and gave him a bloody nose. Miss Sam said she watched the whole thing and couldn't believe it. Jaida took a toy from the boy and the boy went and told Sam. Sam asked Jaida to give the toy back so Jaida gave the toy back, balled up her fist, and punched him in the nose. Not only is my little girl the trouble maker of the class, but she's also the bully.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Yesterday Jaida and I colored some St. Patrick's Day pictures that I printed off the internet, but that was the extent of our celebration. Everyone but me was asleep by 9pm so I got to install my video capture card and do a little video editing. Honestly it was so exciting and I was having a blast. First of all it worked, and second, I will finally be able to put my home videos on DVD - and add music, transitions, menus....whatever I want.

Kayla loves to smile.

Time Flies

Why is it that the older you get the faster time goes? When I was little I remember some days just couldn't get over fast enough. Now I'm thinking, "I already have a three-year old, and my baby is almost five-months old!! Where did all that time go?

I fed Kayla some rice cereal the other night. She acts like she's ready to sit down and eat dinner with us if she could. She is also getting ready to crawl. She gets up on her hands and knees and will move her knees forward but doesn't move her hands. So then she'll stumble forward onto her head. The last few weeks she has started to laugh a little. Jaida can make her laugh really good almost just by looking at her.

Jaida is having some issues at daycare. Yesterday when I picked her up she was sitting in time-out. I think she probably gets that a lot. One of the ladies said she was being mean to the kids. Which I can totally picture since this weekend she clobbered Nyah on the nose with a moraca. She also would not listen to the teachers and was doing everything in her power to be rebellious. At home she would rather go to time-out or even have a spanking than eat dinner.

Jaida still says some funny words:
Keekaboo..........Peekaboo
Over..............Oval
Cramra............Camera
I'm teaching her some songs, "There was an old lady who swallowed a fly," and the bear song. She loves the old 4-H camp songs we used to sing.

I'm thankful for...

Jaida has started to say her prayers. One night at dinner I started to pray and she said, "No, I want to." I said okay and she began. "Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for this day. Thank you for mommy and daddy and Kayla." I'm thinking to myself, oh, that's so cute! "Thank you for the toys, and my horses, and the table, and the food, and the cupboards, and..." At that point I looked up and she was looking around the room pointing at stuff and saying that she was thankful for it. It was pretty funny and I had to laugh a little bit. So now after quite a few thankful-fors I help her end her prayer. Sheesh, I never thought I'd have a child this old.
