Our Sugar Cookie

Kendalan is our pure sugar cookie! I have been telling her Daddy that this darling is going to be so spoiled by the time she starts school in a couple of years. Daddy was all excited to sign her up for pre-school, that is until he found out that it was $126/week! I don't think that she will be needing too much to have her ready to start Kindergarten in a couple of years anyway. These are some of the conversations that she and I have had lately.


Mom, do you know what a chrysalis is? Thankfully I do have a clue, however I am somewhat amazed that she would know! I tell her, "Yes, I know what a chrysalis is." I then ask her what happens to a chrysalis? She says, "A beautiful butterfly comes out of it." She then adds, "A chrysalis is like a sleeping bag." Poof! You can blow me over with a feather!


We also visited about colors. She is a sharpie when it comes to colors. You really can't pull one over on her. So our conversation went something like this. "Mommy, what are your favorite colors?" I tell her that I really don't have one favorite color, I like most of the colors of the rainbow. She then starts asking me about each individual color. "Do you like red?" I reply, "Yes." "How about blue?" "Yellow?" She then says, "Do you like violet?" I say, "Yes, I like violet, what color is violet?" She says, "Oh you know Mom, a kind of purple." Yikes!


So we take off to run errands yesterday. As I am strapping her in her car seat she says, "Oh Mommy, I forgot my sunglasses!" So I tell her to sit still, I will go get them for her. These photos are of her giving me the sweetest smiles after I handed them to her and she put them on. She likes to wear them in the car, "So I can see better." We stop at a shoe store. She is still wearing her shades in the store. Two of the women working there come over and tell her that she is looking pretty good in her sunglasses. (Duh! Of course she knows it!) She smiles sweetly at them. The one woman asks me what nationality she is. I say Chinese. The woman says, "With the sunglasses on, she looks Philipino." She then asks Kendalan to let her see her eyes. Of course Kendalan obliges and very matter of factly pulls her sunglasses down just a hair and peeks over the top of them at the woman. The woman says, "What beautiful eyes you have!" Kendalan says, "I know." as she puts her shades back on!!


Oh, I can't wait for the teen years!!
