Okay, I'm posting again! Wow, two nights in a row, I can hardly believe it. I don't really have a great subject but this one pretty much sums up our little monkey these days. Kennedy is sooo busy, she gets in to absolutely everything. Grandma Derksen had an idea to switch up the "no" every once in a while with "touche pas", which we thought was a good idea. It worked at first but soon "touche pas" became a fun game for Kennedy and she would laugh and go back to whatever it was she wasn't supposed to be doing. And now "no" has also become a laughing matter for her. I am afraid of the "terrible twos" if this is what one is already like!
Here are some pictures of her doing some good and some bad: climbing in and out of a box (a new favorite--good), playing with the phone and that open cupboard (good and bad) and jumping off the couch (good/bad). I shall explain. I am not a fan of her playing with the phone but I let her because it entertains her for quite some time. I'm always nearby though, making sure she's not pressing redial or calling Zimbabwe or something worse like 911. Open cupboard bad: we put all of our plastics and tupperware in one bottom cupboard so she could play with them, but that's not that cupboard. There isn't anything dangerous in there but it's not what I wanted!!! Again, "touche pas" and "no" is a game so I've started to give up on that cupboard being off limits. I would never get supper made otherwise. Jumping off the couch: good if we are around to watch her, bad if we aren't. So far she's not tall enough to get up on the couch herself but it won't be long and she'll just figure a way up; she's much too smart for her own good. Ahhh, it just keeps us on our toes and we love it!

I can not wait to let the girls play together again. I'm sure they will get in all kinds of trouble together. At least they may entertain each other and we can have some time to visit

We found that signing "no" was the most effective & even to this day (the boys are almost 3) it is still the most effective.
As far as dialing 911 - ya - nt so good - Izak did that once - boy did I feel sheepish when they called me to make sure everything was alright and they asked me like 20 different times are you sure? Ah well so be it - it's only happened once - but that's once too many as far as I'm concerned.
