She is such a little munchin!

I'm learning

that Jyla has a certain "laugh".

When I hear this "laugh" no matter where I am or what I'm doing-

I know that I need to quickly go & see what is going on.

I have a hard time getting her to take me seriously. :)

These are the faces that I see all the time

(especially when I am trying to correct her.)

Her eyes are so expressive!

I am a very "watchful" mom.

Probably more then I should be.

But I only have 2 kids-so it's not as hard to keep track.

I CANNOT imagine the things that would go on around here if I wasn't peeking in on this girl.

A few days ago she cut a good 6 inch long chunk of her hair. 

Luckily she has lots of hair right now so you can't even notice it..

& Luckily Addalie told me about it before Jyla could keep going...

I know this is normal-

Yesterday she was playing outside.

When she came in there was mud ALL over her mouth!

I asked her to open her mouth & there was dirt all over her teeth...Like inbedded in her molars.

Clearly she did more then just taste it...

She was eating it.  I couldnt get all of it out-there was so much...

Again, I know that lots of kids do this-

Today I found her running around the house with a large container of yogurt & a spoon...

eating & laughing & leaving a trail of yogurt behind her in 4 different rooms.

She thinks that she is just "hilarious"

She loves it when Addalie tells her that she is "crazy"!

At lunchtime today she said

"When I grow up, I want to be a mommy so that I can be in charge!"
