Kasila: 2 1/2 years old

A compiled list of things Kasila has recently been doing, both cute and obnoxious.

~For the longest time she would say "pengle" for penguin. In the last few weeks she flipped the switch and now says it correctly.

~She moves the 'l' sound to the beginning of words. Kepler (her friend) is pronounced Kleper and tickles is pronounced clickles.

~Kasila is great at pretending! She is always talking to her dolls and stuffed animals. She likes to play doctor. Animals also frequent the premises. Tonight she had some bears over for a treat. Kasila also plays a pretty good puppy, kitty, and penguin.

~She likes to help with cooking. She is a good mixer, but not the best pourer.

~Loves to read! She points things out and likes to count things on the page, even if you're in the middle of reading the page.

~She continually repeats herself until she is acknowledged by whomever she is addressing. Sometimes she'll continue to repeat herself anyway.

~Do not break or cut any of her food apart without her explicit permission. If you do, be prepared for a major meltdown.

~She wants 2 of almost everything… straws, spoons, cups, stuffed animals… or "just 1 more" of anything.

~If you are playing with her and she needs to go get something, she puts up her finger and says "Be right back. Don't move."
