This Month Kayla just decided to start calling us by our first names! "Rateyull and Danall" it was especially funny when she'd wake up from a nap and would demand for our attention. "RATEYULL... DANALL... WHAT ARE YOU DOINGK??" Hehe funny little thing! I guess she just picked up on us using each other's names because we often call out for the other's attention! haha.

She was quite the little bossy boots this month too - demanding for all sorts especially anything she saw on TV. She's a lot like me when it comes to being a sucker for advertising of treats and junk food! As soon as there is an ad for ice cream or cake we have to change the channel fast before she notices! Otherwise she'll lead me to the fridge and demand that I give her some (even though we don't have any!) And she wont give up either - she'll chuck a tanty and stomp her feet... but we refuse to let her boss us around so she just has to suck it up! lol

Even Dora the Explorer and other cartoons advertise all sorts of junk... drives me mad! One day Dora was on a mission to get some ice cream... so Kayla went on her own mission to get some too! She screamed until she was blue in the face demanding I give her some... but eventually she just settled for some frozen yogurt with a picture of Dora on it! hehe

She's also testing her power out and doing cheeky little things to show us she's boss. Like if she's listening to her Wiggles songs and I start to sing along she'll cover my mouth and say "No no no no no!" I'm not allowed to sing anymore... cheeky little monkey! And she sure likes to pick on Dan - she will offer to share something with him and then snatch it away as he tries to take it. She'll even set up a chair for him and tell him to sit next to her - but as soon as he goes to sit down she will quickly move across and say "No no no no no!" Cheeky I tell ya!

Speaking of Wiggles song - she can sing Twinkle Twinkle little star perfectly now! She just wants to hear The Wiggles music all the time and will even make Nanny play it in the car when they go for drives. It's very cute though - she'll groove in the back to the music and sing along like a little star. I will have to get a video of it. She can sing other songs too but not as well as Twinkle star yet. =)

But when she's not being bossy she's actually really lovely and affectionate - especially to other children. She just adores other kids and will happily walk up to any child and give them a big hug and a kiss. She likes to do this weird thing too where she presses her head up against other peoples foreheads... it's almost like she is doing the Hongi - it is so funny but we have no idea where it came from. It's cute though - she uses it as a sign of affection. Nanny and Granma have been taking her to Freckles fun factory and Lollypops which has been great for her. She interacts with other children and absolutely loves it.

This Month she went to little Miss Scarlett's first Birthday too. Unfortunately I couldn't make it because I was in hospital... but Nanny took her along and she had a blast.
