K:  said to me while getting ready for bed...Its gonna be bedtime when we get home.  No talking and crying.  If I talk and cry then mommy will have to come in and spank me.  But guess what, in the morning, daddys gonna give me a special treat - its probably gonna be gum!

~~

"I wanna go to my sister's house."
Me:  really?
Aunt Mandy: Who is your sister?
K: Wren, Wren is my sister.

K:  Mom, I'm gonna need my gloves.  Conderella has gloves.

~~

K:  said in urgent voice while getting in bed Mom, where is my ribbon?
Me:  ribbon?
K:  Yeah
Me: What ribbon?
K:  For my hair.
Me:  What are you talking about?
K:  Sleeping Beauty wears a ribbon to bed, I need a ribbon so my hair wont be in my face when I sleep

Me: said while at work with K...KayLynn, do you want to shred these papers?
K:  Yep, but you're gonna have to cover my ears...

~~

Joe at work: Hi KayLynn, how are you today?
K:  Um, I'm gonna have to go to my desk now.

~~

K:  Mom, may I PLEASE talk to strangers?
Me:  talk to who?
K:  Strangers!
Me:  No, but thanks for asking so politely!
K:  Please, please, please...  (her new thing, as if saying it 50 times makes me more apt to say 'yes', ugh)

K:  Mom, wheres the rainbows?  God took them away
Me:  Yep, He only lets us see rainbows as a special treat.
K:  But He will give them back
K: said in sing sony voice Tonight, I am going to go to God's house and have dinner and play with the rainbows

The most common comment I get from people, after they ask KayLynn's age, is, "She is really a talker" or some form thereof.  And, yeah.  She is.  The girl talks a lot.  But I can't really blame her.  She came from me!  So, for your amusement (and my memory) I have listed some new KayLynnisms!

KayLynn asked me if I could help her do something and I told her I was too tired.  "Fine Mom, I will do it by myself"  and she said this, not in a snotty voice, but more of a revalation.

In the car on the way home:  "Mom is the moon going follow to us home?"  (Is the moon following us home?)

With her hands on each of my cheeks, "Mommy you are so cute."

When getting ready to help cook, "Mom, I'm gonna need my cookin chair!"

This morning when Rosie showed up, "Mom can you go to work now?"  So Max asked her if he had to go to work.  "Nope"  and then she clarified, "Cause I gonna stay with Rosie"

"Mom, wait to me"

The other day she didn't feel well so I went home to take her temp for Rosie.  She told me, "OK, now you gotta take Rosie home."

"Mom you gotta go to GEO (where we work), and I will come pick you up in my car"

Things that KayLynn has thanked God for in bedtime prayers in the last 2 weeks(except her family members - because that list would be too long to list):  her new pillow (a duck that Aunty Kristin got her); her bed, blankets (all of them, she clarified); mommy's robe; monkey; this (she says while pointing to something); the wall; all the pets from every home - by name.

I don't know where this kid gets it, but she is always talking!!  I love watching her little mind come alive and put things together.  a few of the recent conversations that I will enjoy reminding her of, are as follows...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Me:  I coughed.
KayLynn: Mom, you ok?
Me: Yep, thank you.
KayLynn:  Mom, you coughing, do you need coffee?
**After she was at granny's and told Granny the same thing, she (Granny) called me and explained to me that KayLynn must have thought that if you are coughing, you must need coughee!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
KayLynn grabbed my face between her hands and said in a very serious tone, "LISTEN, we are going to the beach."  I turned my head and she grabbed my face in her hands and repeated herself.  When I laughed again she said.  "Mom, you still laughing, its time for a nap."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
K called me on the phone (kinda a tradition when Max is home with her and I'm at work):
K: Mom, can I go to the park?
Me: K, you are going to have to ask daddy, momm's at work.
K: OK.  Daddy, can I go to the park?
