Kylie is still wanting everything the baby has. She has figured out how to get in (but not out) of the bouncer by herself, and I will always catch her just chilling in it playing with a doll.
Hayden also really loves the bouncer. This week he has started actually really concentrating on trying to touch certain things and making the spinny things spin. He is slowly getting the idea of how to grab things! It takes a while, but eventually he will grab the toy I place in front of him. Whereas, if I am trying to eat anything he can immediately get his hand into my food or grab my plate.
It has been perfect weather for walks lately. Hayden usually falls asleep within ten minutes, but Kylie has started a rock collection. She will stop every few feet and grab a few rocks to put on the stroller. By the time we get home we have five pounds of rocks to deal with! So now she has a little box outside our front door that she can put her rocks into and she loves it.
Saturday was a big day. I hung the mobile up for Hayden in his crib and he absolutely loved it. He would kick and squirm while watching it.
That afternoon, Brandon decided to do something that he has been dying to do for awhile: take Kylie to a movie. He chose to take her to the Lego Movie. I warned him that she isn't ready, but he really wanted to try.
They were back home within 30 minutes. Kylie is much too active of a little girl to sit through an entire movie in a new, exciting place. There is just no way.
Later that day we got Kylie a piggy bank. Of course she thinks it is a toy and wants to carry it around everywhere, but we don't want her to break it so she gets pretty upset when we put it up where she can't reach it. But she had the time of her life putting pennies into it. Now I am already formulating a plan to give her a few pennies whenever she helps out with chores (cleaning, dishes, laundry) and then we can take her to buy a treat every other week or so.
That is so funny that Brandon tried to take Kylie to the movie theater. What a great dad to at least want to do that. It was funny to me that he was home in 30 minutes. LOL! Sweet energetic Kylie. I wanted to let you know that Kendra use to collect rocks also. She loved them. She also started collecting feathers. More collections to come. Your such a good mom that recognizes her need to collect and that you have found a box outside to put them in so she knows you understand her.
