Not much to report

I was asked to post more pictures so here they are. Kali and Carson played in the sprinkler yesterday, the poor man's swimming pool. Kali was a little hesitant to run through at first, but after watching her brother run through it quite a few times, she was not about to be second in Sprinkler Playing!

I am not sure we can really call Kali's time with us a "transition" anymore. She is part of our family and has blended in without any real problems. She came to us potty trained (though we do put a pull-up on her at night); she eats just about anything you put in front of her; she is sweet and loving and compassionate. What more could we ask for??

There is the continuing problem of the tantrums, which come and go. We thought the spitting was over, but she still spits at us when she gets REALLY mad ... and that REALLY mad usually comes with not getting what she wants. I think she has finally learned what the time-outs are for because she will turn and run from us now when she knows that she's done something to get in trouble, although it hasn't deterred her from the swatting, hitting, spitting, etc. Everything with time, right?

One funny thing ... she LOVES her clothes and getting dressed is the first thing she wants to do in the mornings when she wakes up. She has several pairs of shoes, but she has taken a keen interest in one pair ... her pink & white Nikes. Kali was with me when we bought these shoes, so somehow she has attached herself to these shoes with proprietary interest. She refuses to wear any other shoes and doesn't even like to take them off when it is bathtime.

She is all girl!!!
