From the mouth of Kynadi

This entry is mostly for me so I will remember all the cute little things Kynadi says all the time. She always brightens my day when she talks (which is all the time).

One of my favorite things Kynadi says is, "Mommy you can sit next by me. It makes me happy when you sit next by me". This is said almost everyday at breakfast. I love it.

In the car as we drive to Kindermusik, storytime, church or whereever, I ofter hear Kynadi from the back, "Mommy I'm excited to go to ..... This makes me smile everytime I hear it. Just something in her voice is so content and happy to be doing whatever we have on the agenda that day.

Almost every night at dinner she says, "oh thank you mommy, this is sooo yummy". It's said with such a sweet sincere voice. I can't help but love my sweet little bean!!

Kynadi always wants to draw pictures for people. Then she will tell me that when the special person sees it, they will say, "oh thank you Kynadi". It is just so cute to hear her voice announce how happy they will be to get her gift. Plus I just love to hear her say her own name...she pronounces it more like, Kin-da-dee.

As Kynadi was saying her prayers the other night, she abruptly stopped and asked me, "wait mommy, what did we do yesterday", she gets time references like yesterday mixed up, so I wasn't sure what she was looking for since we hadn't done anything. Plus I was wondering why she had just stopped her prayer to ask me this. She then tried to get it out of me by asking if we went to story time or Kindermusik. I told her we hadn't gone anywhere yesterday but we had gone to kindermusik today. So then she continues her prayer, saying she was thankfull for Kindermusik. I thought this was so cute. Whenever we say prayers with her we say we are grateful for whatever little activity we did that day(if any), so I thought it was precious that she had to stop to ask what we had done so she could be thankful for it.

Then along these same lines. Another night as we were praying, she was trying to say something about Kindermusik. I don't remember all the details but she had stopped her prayer again. Somehow we got onto a similar discussion about praying about being grateful for the activities we get to do. I used Kindermusik as an example and told her how we are thankful that we get to go have fun there. She then tells me that we should write Miss Carrie (her teacher) a thank you note and that "that would be really nice" and "that will make her happy". I thought this was cute too, that she correlated being grateful with writing a "thank you" note. The funniest part is she hasn't forgotten it. We went to Kindermusik yesterday, and at the end she gasped and said, "oh!, we forgot to color Miss Carrie a note". So I think we'll have to do that for next week. :)

Kynadi also keeps us in line. Whenever John and I argue, Kynadi will alway burst in, "Daddy you're not supposed to yell at mommy" or vice-versa, but John usually is the recipient of the remark..which really annoys him since he's not really yelling, just talking sternly. I usually enjoy when she's putting John in his place. Not so fun when she says it to me though :)
Also, the other day she was at church waiting with my mom, when she heard my mom talking with another lady. My mom said somthing like, "well I'd really hate to see that..." Kynadi again butted in and told grandma, "we don't say hate!" My mom was a bit confused and had to really think about what she had said since she was not using "hate" in a mean way like Kynadi was thinking. Nothing like having a two year old correct your language in front of people at church! Funny Funny

Anyway, these are just a few of the sweet things I hear come out of Kynadi. She is really such a caring little girl. For being so young she is already full of compassion and love. She wants to make sure everyone is happy and really is just sweet. I can't think of any other way to explain her character. I'm soooooooo lucky to be her mom. What a blessing she is!
