I'm so proud of you..

Jaylie is such a little talker. She can say anything and everything. This is a good and bad thing! I love having conversations with her and she is hilarious sometimes. I thought it would be good to document some of the things she had said over the summer. 

Almost every day, Jaylie grabs my face with those little hands and says," I so proud of you Mommy!" It is the sweetest thing. It makes me feel good that she proud of me on days I'm not proud of myself:)

Our summer has consisted of a lot of talk about the potty and Jaylie will have nothing to do with it. She is scared of it. She has a cute little potty but she told me," Mommy, I not gone do it." 

Every time I bring it up or talk about it, this is what she says. We have made a deal with her...I know, negotiating with a 2 year old is probably not good but we told her she can to Chucky Cheese when she uses the potty. She loves Chucky cheese. 

This has really been on her mind and she told us one night, after she was refusing everything," I not gone be a bath. I not gone poop in the potty but I am go to Chucky Cheese!"

Jaylie is very friendly to everyone. In fact, if you are a child and you talk to her anywhere, Jaylie calls you her best friend. I think it is so sweet. She just loves people! Now, she is not against telling anybody what she thinks but she loves them. 

She loves to sing. We have the kids bop CD and Uptown Funk is on there. Yall that is her jam!! It is all she wants to listen to in the car. She can,legit, quote the chorus. Our version we listen to is clean. It says hot yeah! 

She also sings, in her little talk: Twankle,Twankle yittle star

How my wonder what chu arrreee. Bup above the wourld so high, yike a diamond in the sky, Twankle, Twankle Yittle star, how my wonder what chu are!!

We sing a lot of church songs too and she knows all the words.

Pock- cot

Jaylie is in such a fun stage right now. She says anything now and is fun to play with.

She calls a pocket a " pockcot". It is so funny- especially during church when the preacher is preaching the word and Jaylie is turned around counting all the " pockcots" out loud in the room. 

She calls herself Jaysee Beca Ham. I love her pronunciation of her name and I am with her on shortening our last name. 

She has always eaten really well until the last few months. She rarely eats much at home now. I think she is eating all she can at daycare. She loves goldfish at daycare but has a meltdown if I mention them at home. She loves her Uncle Steve's hotdogs and corn. She asks for corn for breakfast.

You know how I said she can say anything? Yeah, sometimes that is not great. Not that I say anything bad- I really don't. But apparently I do say, " Oh God.." Because Jaylie dropped something and looked around and said that. I felt really bad and got a lecture from Ganmama. Trust me- I don't like saying that but I honestly don't remember. But Jaylie remembered and now she knows that we don't say it. Nothing like kids to keep you accountable.

Another thing I love about Jaylie is how she loves to pray. She wants to pray multiple times at the dinner table and at night. She folds her little hands and says, "Mommy, pay!" It literally makes me tear up thinking about how sweet she is and how she knows that we pray to God and love him. She loves to sing church songs- like he gots the " whole wrrrlld in his hannndds" in Jaylie talk. Most Sundays she is great in church and stays out in there the whole time. If I take her out, I bring her back because I want her to learn to sit in church. She does well and keeps everyone quietly entertained.

It's funny how kids decide what they are going to call their people. Jaylie calls my Daddy, Gaddy, which I love. She calls Mother, Moma. It is close to Ganmama and she calls me Mommy and her Moma. There is a difference when she calls us. She calls David, Poppy and Christy, MiMi. 

One of the funniest names she talks about is my Uncle Edward and Aunt Annie. One day after church, we were at partners eating and Jaylie looked at Aunt Annie and said, " Where's Ed?" Hilarious that she calls him Ed. But it is cute!

She really isn't a baby anymore and I miss that. I love how funny and independent she is but I miss that sweet baby.
