I don't ever want to forget the funny little things about Kai, so I've got to document them because before I know it, he will be walking into his first day of kindergarden and I'll be bawling my eyes out thinking where did my baby go?
Let me tell you about this hilarious kid.
1. He will eat spaghetti any time of day. He would eat it every meal if he had things his way. Lately I've been adding zucchini and yellow squash to make it healthier, and he still loves it!
2. He is so independent and doesn't mind hanging out by himself. The other day I fell asleep on the floor in his room while he was playing with toys (hoping he would eventually fall asleep next to me). When I woke up, he was gone and the house was silent. I was really nervous to see what I would find when I walked in the living room, but he had made his way onto the couch (which he rarely does) and was just sitting there hanging out sipping his milk without a care in the world. He cracks me up!
3. Anytime he thinks something tastes good, he says mmmMMMmm! as soon as he tastes it. His favorite thing ever is toothpaste. It's in our top bathroom drawer and somehow he always finds it and sucks on the lid saying mmmMMMmmm! over and over again.
4. He loves grapes. It's the only snack he won't throw on the floor and waste. He will eat every last one, no matter how many I give him.
5. He points to the door over and over everyday, wanting to go outside :( Man I wish it wasn't so deathly cold or I would happily take him!
6. He is obsessed with anything BYU. There can be the tiniest logo of it on someone's shirt at walamrt, and he will see it and start shouting "DA-DA-DA" (BYU) in a really low voice.
7. He loves to play "Where is the...?" I'll ask him "Where's the oven?" or "Where's the clock?" and he points to it. So far he can point out anything I teach him; he is such a fast learner! His favorite thing to point out is the picture we have in our kitchen of the Tokyo temple. So cute! He also knows clock, microwave, oven, dishwasher, toaster, flowers, high chair, table, fridge, couch, etc.
8. He loves to run out of doors (at church, doctors appointments, stores etc). When we were driving home from Texas we stopped for a break and I let him run around the dollar store to get his energy out, and he just ran as far away from me as he could for 15 minutes, and kept making his way back to the front doors no matter how many times I picked him up and took him to a different part of the store, even though they were actually hard to find. He's so smart and never forgets where the door is, of any place we go.
9. He makes the cutest sounds when I tell him to "talk." Check out the video below:
10. He freely gives kisses to all of his boy cousins. Which is saying a LOT because he doesn't kiss often. He loves them! I cannot wait to see him kiss his baby sister.
11. He loves to watch home videos of himself. Sometimes I'll just pull him up next to me on the couch and snuggle and watch all of the videos on my phone of him since he was a baby. He just lays there watching, so intrigued.
Also, he's still quite the milk boy. Nuby sent us this no-spill insulated stainless steel cup that we take with us on the go so his milk stays cold and fresh for all of our outings. It was especially useful during the warm summer months, but we've still used it this winter since milk gets warm quick, which is yuck.
It keeps milk cold for up to 10 hours, and it has a lid that covers the straw and flips shut to keep it protected from bacteria and viruses on the floors of Target, Ikea, or wherever we're going... :) It's also BPA-free. Kai has loved it and it's so easy for him to use. I love a sippy cup that can keep his milk cold for so long! You can buy it here

Such an incredibly cute little kid!! You must be one proud mama!
