What is going on with Miss Kensley at 3.5? Well, to say the least, she is a precious, kind hearted, tender loving little girl that, on a daily basis, makes me fall in love with her more and more. I feel like I can't love her any more and then I wake up the next morning and watch her throughout the day. Gah- she rocks my world!

I did mention her being so kind hearted- and she really is- but she can also be a little turd. haha. She knows how to push Kallie's buttons- and knows to do it only when Mommy isn't looking! Little stinker. But even with the little battles her and Kallie get in, they still love eachother so much- and that makes my heart swell up. Seriously.

She loves to eat:
Turkey Sandwiches
Yogurt Popsicles
Strawberries
Bananas
Carrots
Veggie Fries (something her friend Lexi would take to school in her lunch- so we had to get some!)
Pancakes
Waffles
Oreos
ANYthing sweet (or chocolate)----> (she's got my sweet tooth)
My favorite time of day to be with her is before bedtime. Kent and I usually take turns putting each girl to bed (I am usually with Kallie). When I have my nights with Kensley, I savor every moment. She likes to just sit and talk. We've been talking about God being upset when she's mean to people. She has a friend at school who has older sisters- older as in 16 year old sister. Can you imagine what hormonal outbreaks this little 3 year old has witnessed?!? lol - I'm not being judgmental- I'm being REAL! Seriously- pre-teen and teen girls are crazy! Anyways, she would say things (not terribly bad--- just all the stuff like "you're not my friend". "I don't like her". "I don't want to play with you".) that Kensley picked up on and Kensley started treating friends in her class like that. Does this make sense? Anyways- to make a long story short- I've been trying to drill it into Kensley that she needs to be nice to EVERYONE. All of the bullying that is going on these days is so scary- I do NOT want my girls to be a part of those actions. I just pray that everything we talk about will help her develop compassion to others. I *pray* it does. So she's been asking a lot: "Is God upset because I ________?" This opens up opportunities for me to talk about God to her- I hope it's all sinking in and she's wrapping her head around it.

Let's see---- what else is going on with KK that I'd like to document.....
*Every morning, she wakes up and tells me if she has a dry or wet pullup (unfortunately, it's still pretty wet each morning). She'll tell me it's wet and then immediately, in the same breath, asks if Kallie's is wet too. She's so competitive. both of them are. Already.
*Wakes up around 6:45-7:15 in the mornings. For a while it was 7:30-8. Not sure why she's starting to wake up earlier now :(
*Goes to bed between 8-8:30
*Loves school and wants to go back. She doesn't realize it's summer though! haha

*Asks to go to Cora & Clayton's quite a bit. She loves our neighbors!

Great post!! I can't believe our girls are getting so big!!! Love the last "sassy" picture of her!!
Love Kensley in that dress. She IS so sweet, I hope Harper is like Kensley in her sweetness.
I fully understand about the older siblings. HF learned those same sayings at school but from a friend without an older sibling. She came home crying so hard! Now, she tells us we aren't her best friend anyone but is getting better.
