Kiley's favorite things

In keeping with Kiley week, I thought I would make a list of some of Kiley's favorite things at age 2.  Here they are, in no order of importance, just how I can think of them :)

1.  Dogs-Kiley is OBSESSED with dogs.  She loves Morgan and Madison, but she also just has a love for dogs in general.  When we go for a walk or are at the park, she spends most of her time looking for and pointing out dogs.  Maybe we have a future vet on our hands.

2.  Garbage trucks.  Kiley loves to watch the garbage man out of her window.  This morning she wasn't even up yet when I heard the garbage truck pull up in the alley, of course, a second later I heard Kiley screaming truck, truck.  Kevin went to get her up and had to immediately show her the garbage truck.  Perhaps we have a garbage woman on our hands :)

3.  Elmo!  Hence her 2nd b-day party theme of Kiley Street.  She loves Elmo.  She really watches no tv other than sometimes requesting to watch Elmo and even then it is only for a few seconds.  I think her fondness of Elmo came from the Ipad app. 

4.  Favorite songs--ABC's, wheels on the bus, Itsy Bitsy Spider and Pat-a-cake.  She requests these all the time and must do all the hand movements with them as well.

5.  Taking pictures.  She loves to hold the cell phone up to "take a picture."  She just walks around saying cheese.  She sometimes does it also with things that she thinks are cameras--such as flashlights, remotes, etc.

6.  She is really into labeling whose things are whose these days.  For instance, she recently has decided that all the remotes are daddy's.  She is very particular on who can use certain things--and of course, does not like when Ella touches things that she has deemed as hers.

7.  Babies--I think this one is because she is such a great big sister.  She just loves babies and points them out all the time.   I was watching the Today show this morning and they were covering the election and she pointed out the one token baby in the crowd--ha, how's that for observant.  She also loves to change diapers and feed and burp babies (and sometimes her friends as well).  We are trying to work on her not checking other kids diapers or burping them--what a little mom she is.

8.  Running.  She loves to run these days and points out people running all the time.  She has the funniest run that I will have to get on video sometime.  It's kind of like those people that are serious speed walkers. 

9.  Books.  She loves books.   She doesn't always have the attention span to sit and listen to books all the time, but she loves to look through them, pass them out to everyone (dogs included), read them to herself.

10.  Purses, jewelry, all things girly.  This one has been a favorite for awhile.  She just loves being girly.

She is so funny these days and as her speech is increasing she is getting funnier by the day.  Oh the things that she says and does just make me laugh.
