Only This Face...

...could get this guy to "dit" [sit] in pink chairs and play something prissy.

But he is smitten and is a GRRRREAT daddy!

Chocolate Makes Me Happy

Our family likes chocolate. We don't generally feed Kensley junk food since Mike and I really like it and really have to exercise a great deal of self-control while in its presence. We just don't want Kensley to crave it (like I do!).

Today I was experimenting with chocolate cobbler recipes and allowed Kensley to have some as her snack when she woke up from her nap - HUGE treat. She totally indulged as noted in the pictures, so I took out the camera to capture the moment. I asked her to say cheese, and instead said chocolate - it sounds like choc-it. I couldn't get her to say it for the camera, but was lucky enough to snag a few Kensley-isms in the process.

Toddler Time

Kensley is every bit a toddler...going on 13. She is a big girl and will try just about anything. If she thinks she can't do it, then she tells us what it is she wants us to do with a sweet little "peeeeas." Here are a few shots of Kensley in her daily activities.

Kensley still looooves books. Daddy had the honors this particular round!

Kensley and I got a gift in this "bad" [bag]. She carried it around like a "busss" [purse].

Kensley and Joanna playing in her tent. They peek their heads out and push it around...tons and tons of laughs, giggles and fun!

Hey!

Bubblicious

Kensley got to take a bath in our tub the other night. She took a nose-dive straight into the "bubbos" (bubbles) and did so repeatedly. This is her showing off her bubble face. So silly.

And they taste good, too!

Valentine Surprise!

Kensley got Valentine's Day money from Mimi this year and spent it wisely, I must say. For a while I have been wanting to get Kensley a table and chairs. She just loves them anywhere she is! With the move, etc. I hated to get one more thing and semi-dismissed the idea until I saw a bargain at Wally World! I didn't set it up until Kensley went to bed on Friday night so it was a surprise to her on Valentine's Day morning. The pictures that follow convey her interest.
