Kayla's Communication methods


Is anyone else as amazed as me about how kids communicate, especially ones as young as Kayla at 1 yr? There have been so many times this past month that we've said something and I am almost positive she's repeating what I've said or replying to what I've said.


Case in point: Last night Todd gave Emma and Abrianna baths. (Kayla loves baths. She will dive right in, clothes, diaper, and all--has on two different occasions. . .) She decided she had to be part of the fun, but since Todd was using our large garden tub/whirlpool she couldn't get over the side like she can with their bathroom tub. She took all the bath products I keep on the ledge and started throwing them into the water.


When I got home later that night, they were recounting the incident to me. I asked Kayla: "Did you help the big girls take baths?" She got this huge grin on her face, started kicking her legs and pushing up her body (since I was holding her against my hip) and said, "ye." No joke. I asked a second time to see if she was consistent, and sure enough, I got the same excited and happy reaction, as if to say, "I'm so proud of my accomplishment."


Last Friday I asked Kayla if she was stinky and if I don't mistake, I sure heard "stee."

The shot above is characteristic of her funny grin with those big blue eyes smiling.
