Jason and I are astounded at how well Kelson remembers things. She STILL talks about our days back in October of last year when we went to DisneyWorld and what we did, who we were with, and what rides she liked. I know most kids her age don't recall things and she remembers. Even stuff that I don't remember. We are amazed at this gift. Also, she LOVES to quote movies (just like Jason and I). Lately she's been doing the line from Lilo and Stitch where Lilo's sister Nani threatens to get a rabbit instead of keeping Lilo- so we go back and forth and quote the whole thing. It's the cutest thing EVER to hear her remember all the words- from both ends- and act it out too. Lilo ends up slamming the door, so Kelson's been doing that part too Then she screams into her pillow just like the movie. I think her remembrance skill comes from learning so many songs too- for being 2.5 yrs old she sure does know lots of songs and remembers most of the words. She is quite the little singer too- imagine that ;) She remembers people's names and nicknames and can say our real names, Kelly, then Mommy and she goes down the list- Jason/daddy, Lucy/Memere, etc... its super cute. She's been saying her full name since she was 2. She always gets lots of compliments on how well she speaks too- she speaks very clear and has a huge vocabulary. Lucy is teaching her french daily, I continue to teach her letters, numbers, shapes, and colors. I recently bought her a Leapster 2, a hand-held game and she LOVES it. It keeps track on how well she does with each skill level and she is at a kindergarten level for shapes/colors :) Makes a mommy proud. She is starting to recognize letters too. Those games are great for teaching. Its so funny to see her playing on jason's computer- using the mouse and clicking where the games are, etc.. she seems so grown up. Another thing that Kelson gets compliments on - not only that she's a cutie pie- but her manners :) We've taught her how to say excuse me if she wants to talk to me and we are doing something else, she says Thank you almost anytime I do something for her, she gives the SWEETEST smile when she gets excited about something, she even says God Bless you when you sneeze :) We've been working on her "tomboy" skills- she can hit the heck out of the ball off her tee- I was VERY amazed at how fast she caught on. She seems to really enjoy it too- she asks to go play outside all the time. She is going to be a very active little girl- we are already doing gymnastics and swimming, so I see softball in the near future. Oh- then we have music lessons that's a must :) She loves to go to the cave and sing on the microphone for everyone- and play Uncle Jay's drums.
I can't be more proud of my baby girl than I am today!!!
