AK-isms

Some cute things AK does these days:

- says things in this pattern: sentence, mommy, same sentence. Example: I need a bib, Mommy, I need a bib! Almost everything she says follows this pattern!
- gives me a running commentary of everything she sees outside the car as we're driving. Cars, trucks, bicycles, trees, etc.
- singing in the car. Sometimes so softly that I can't hear her but I can see her lips moving (in the rearview mirror). As soon as I stop singing, I get "more, mommy, more!"
- lots of "what's this" and "what's that". If you turn the question around to her, she thinks it's hilarious but then answers her own question.

Tonight, she was eating her supper, and all of sudden pointed at her play kitchen.
AK: Mommy, that's my kitchen.
Mommy: Yes, that's right. What do you do in your kitchen?
AK: I cook! (imagine a face full of glee!)
Mommy: What do you cook in your kitchen?
AK: French fries!
Mommy: And what else?
AK: Ketchup!
Mommy: Ha ha! How about lasagna (AK nods), noodles (AK nods again) and chicken (AK nods yet again)?

Got a haircut for her today, will post pictures later, she was AMAZING. She sat still for half an hour while the hairdresser cut, sprayed, dried and flat-ironed! Her hair looked so wonderful after and I spent the next hour or so staring at her, and thinking that this is what I must have been like as a little girl :)

The night of my birthday, AK and I met up with friends at the Doghouse for supper and playtime. The kids played together so well. It is one of my favorite things, to see all of them togehter having a great time. I couldn't have asked for a better birthday evening.

I was able to take Friday off to spend with my company. It was a very relaxing day and then my company and I were invited out for dinner and then out for a night on the town. It's good to do that once in a while :) Saturday, we were invited out for a boat ride, which was also wonderful. I have been pretty tired the last couple of days though, guess it all finally caught up to me.

Am looking forward to the weekend with AK very much. We will be attending a Thanksgiving fall supper at the church on Friday night to kick it off!!! xo
