Tiffany got a very nice report from Kylie’s teacher today when she picked her up from daycare. Apparently Kylie is her class leader. She reads to groups of children and sings them songs and leads them in group play activities. She does it all on her own and when a teacher starts to sing or read with her she holds up her hand and says “no, I do it myself.” We are so proud of her and hope she continues to lead as she moves up into her new class the begining of next month.

This morning Kylie came up to Mommy and said “Mommy guess what I know” and then proceeded to recite Mommy’s cell phone number. Needless to say Mommy was very impressed and they had to call Daddy so I could hear it too. After Kylie told me Mommy’s phone number and I told her how proud I was of her; I then asked her who taught it to her, to which Mommy replied “Didn’t you?” Which I of course did not, and when I asked Kylie again who taught it to her she said Aunt Sissy. However we asked Aunt Sissy and she denies teaching it to her, as does Mimi. So at this point we do not know who taught Kylie Mommy’s phone number. We are happy that she knows it though, and have decided that seeing as she knows Mommy’s we should teach her Daddy’s as well.

Tonight was Trenton’s fireworks, and considering the reaction Kylie had to fireworks the last time she saw some, I decided that I would make the trip down to see them with her. Unfortunately she did not get a nap today and she fell asleep in my truck on the way to see them. But she woke up to go watch them, but her reaction was not the same as when she saw Wyandotte’s. I blame this only a little on he lack of sleep, as she was very excited to go see them, and spoke about them all day, asking more than once “is it time to go see the fireworks now?” The fireworks themselves just weren’t very impressive, in fact they may have been the worse Fourth of July fireworks display I have personally ever seen. Granted we did not stay for the finale, but that was a direct result of them not being all that good to begin with. Kylie did still seem to enjoy them, however, and showed it with more than a few “Oohs” and “Ahhs.” The cutest thing though, was in the beginning when other boats on the river were shooting off fireworks before the city started shooting theirs. Kylie would see one go off and then there would be a lull before the next boat or that same boat shot off another, and Kylie would say “come on fireworks, you can do it!” It was super cute, and more than a few people commented on how cute she was. So even though the fireworks themselves did not live up to my hopes, the night was still a very fun time.
