What Kennedi Wants to be When She Grows Up

A Doctor or Vet?

We got Kennedi a "nurses/doctor" set for her birthday. She loves it. As you can see, she is giving her Kitty a shot.







An Artist?
The past couple of weeks, she has been amazing me with her drawings. I didn't even know that she could actually draw objects. Up until now, it has just been crazy lines, or circles. The other day, she came to me and showed me this picture of a face that she drew. And, the one below she drew a couple nights ago and showed Jerrod. She said, "Daddy, look at my elephant!" He was amazed as well. I am so glad that he took a photo of it. I am pretty impressed by her artistic abilities. Probably because if I drew an elephant it wouldn't even come close to her picture!





Best of All: A Mommy.
Notice how I didn't put a question mark on that one. I know she will be a Mommy someday. It is so fun to see her little mothering instincts at this age. The other night, she wanted to help Kaden eat his mashed potatoes, so we sat her up on the chair and she fed him. She did such a good job and he ate all of his food with her help!


I love this one because if you look at her mouth, she is doing the whole "open mouth when feeding Kaden" thing. It is so funny how our bodies naturally do this. I have caught Jerrod and myself doing this over and over.


What a great big sister!


It is so fun watching Kennedi grow up and playing make-believe. She is always talking about her "friends" or playing school or house. She loves to sing and dance and play with her brother and Kitty. She calls them "sweetheart" a lot. It is so sweet. I can't believe that my baby girl is growing up so fast. I am so thankful that I can record things like this so that we can remember these stages.

These are absolutely priceless! Love the vet pics:)

Potty Training story:
So, I was offering the potty almost every time I could tell she needed to "go," and she'd most always say no. Then, we're at my parents this weekend and she says YES to my mom, and then pees in the potty! What?!
So, we're just starting, and I'm not pushing it. It's probably a little over 50% right now, but that's better than nothing I guess. I'd love for her to be done before the baby comes, so I'm casually starting now:) I agree with you- pushing it before they're ready isn't a good idea at all... We've been doing LOTS of amazing treats when she goes too!

It has been a very long time since I have last posted.  Very long.  I have so much catching up to do, but I need to write about a very special little girl and the fact that she is turning TWELVE today.  I first wrote about my story here .  If you have no idea what I am talking about start there.  Read my story.  It was the first time that I really shared my story out in the open for the whole world to read about.  Five years later, so many things have changed.  I have changed.  We have added 2 more beautiful boys to our family.  We are blessed beyond what we could have imagined.  Today, I will be thinking about Alex all day and I will play the events over and over in my head for the next few days. Alex is twelve today and that blows my mind.  Sometimes I feel like that experience was something that I just lived and other times it seems like forever ago.  But, I can't help but continue to ache for her and ache for that re...

A VERY Significant Day

I am behind on some blogging, but I realized that I won't be able to get all of that done right now before I post this. And, I really want to post this today. Some people get the opportunity to have something so significant in their life happen that changes them forever. I am one of those people. Today is a very special day for me. One of a few very special and significant days for me. I have only been celebrating this day for the past 7 years, but I will celebrate it for the rest of my life. Today is Birthmothers Day. Yes, I am a birthmother. I know that most of you do know this about me, but there are some of you who don't know and this will come as a shock to you. I wanted to take this opportunity to write down my feelings and hopefully I can share some sort of insight to this topic. For those of you who don't know...a birthmother is someone who has placed a baby for adoption. When I was 18 I discovered that I was pregnant and was scared beyond imagination. F...

My Story--10 Years

Image
I have many titles, a daughter, a sister, a wife, a mother, etc.  I cherish all of those titles, and try to be the best that I can be in each of those areas.  But, a title that I hold very dear to my heart is the title of "Birthmother".  Almost three years ago, I came "out" to the world that I was a Birthmother.  Close friends and family knew, but I wasn't ready to be so open about it yet.  I finally felt I was ready, and wrote my story HERE .  Please feel free to read it.  It is a long one, but it is the whole story. That was three years ago when Alex was seven.  Now she is TEN!   I have changed a lot in ten years.  I am so much more open with my story.  I am proud of the woman that I have become and the decisions that I have made in my life to follow my Heavenly Father.  I don't care who knows my story now.  If they hear it from me, then it is told the right way. Today is Alex's tenth birthday!!  Whenever h...
