Moments Like This

Kendi loves to be outside. Even if its kind of cold she doesn't care. She's been this way since she was an infant. We love it when spring finally comes around.

Kendi is becoming her own person in the things she says and does. She's starting to figure out things by herself. A couple days ago I added a David Archuleta song to the computer and when Kendi heard it she said, "That's American Idol Song!" Maybe we watch too much American Idol.

Kendi saw a picture of President Hinkley and asked, "Is that a grandpa?" I told her that it was President Hinkley and then nodding her head she said, "President Grandpa."

When we read our scripture Kendi likes to have her own. So, Jared gives her his Jesus the Christ book from his scripture case. I watched Kendi the other day as she climbed up onto our bed, opened "her scriptures" and said, "And it came to pass."

Kendi watches PBS in the mourning while she eats her breakfast. Jared sits by her and works on his laptop. Kendi crawled into his lap one day and asked him for "P B S Kids Dot Org." I noticed that Kendi pays way more attention to the tv than I realize.

While we were shopping today, Kendi was very disturbed by the manikins. She kept saying, "No heads, what happened to their heads." I never realized that manikins don't have heads. It might be more creepy to me if they did.

Kendi is getting so big that she is able to do things that scare me. She can open the front door by herself and she knows that when she can't open it, it's because of the deadbolt. Now I'm glad that I have to lift up on the door to get it to unlock. How long until she figures that out?

She can also climb into the bathtub by herself. Luckily, she doesn't like to take baths as much as she use to.

Somehow, Kendi knows when its time for bed because she turns into this perfect little angel. She says and does the cutest things. I have the hardest time putting her to bed and I'm sure she is aware of her effects on me. Lately, she will come to me and ask if I'm sad. If I say no then she keeps asking until I say yes, then she gives me the sweetest hug and a kiss and asks, "Are you happy now?" I love her so much. Can you tell?
