the two-and-a-half year-old

Kya will be 2 1/2 tomorrow, Wednesday, Oct. 3.

It seems like she was just born, yet it also seems like she has been in our lives forever. It's hard to remember life before Kya ... and I don't try to. Life is so much better with this little blonde blessing around.

Kya's favorite things:
- Mickey Mouse (we don't have cable TV, so this is just about anything that has to do with Mickey - books, stuffed animals, etc)
- video chat and Skype
- letters, colors, and numbers (she LOVES to learn!)
- puzzles
- the weather report on the news
- stickers (what 2-year-old doesn't like stickers?)
- playing games (her favorite is Candy Land)
- running errands with me
- having guests visit (especially relatives and kids)
- dressing up (usually as Super Kya, or her alter-ego: Princess 'White Hair')
- and best of all ... meeting daddy at the door when he comes home from work every day

Fun with Kya over the past month or so ...

I got a steal of a deal on this Little People town/set and Kya is really enjoying having 'big kid' toys to play with.

Sleeping in. Kya is officially in twin-size bed. Corey disassembled her crib a few weeks ago.

Dressing up like Dora - Grandma Katy made her a matching dress and she loves it!

Another visit "way up" to the top floor in the North Dakota Capitol building. She is getting more brave with heights.

I think she was saying "two blue!" She's really good with numbers and colors so this game is a hit.
