My Girls... my life... my way...

My girls...

Kena is sooo cute lately she has begun what i like to call power crawling. She crawls all over the house and follows me around. The good thing about this house is she isn't confined to one room. Where Kya was basically confined to the living room for most of the day because of the steps Kena kid of just roams free. Of course within reason. the doors to the bedroom and bathroom are closed. She is allowed in those rooms but I like her to be at least within ear and head poking distance. Kya was bored where Kena is really getting to explore. Kya had only me to entertain her where Kena has Kya and me.....and lets face it Kya is WAY more entertaining than I am.

Kya really is the most polite little girl ever, it is really hard on her because we always have kids at our house playing with her stuff... and well being the two almost three year old she is and having a new baby sister in the house well she likes her stuff to be HER STUFF! I don't blame her, she shares her stuff all day everyday and well sometimes it gets old and you just don't want everyone using your stuff all the time. I do however require her to share her stuff and well these are lessons that will probably take a long time to learn.

Thankfully she has some really lovely playmates. I love how her friend Aubrey is so gentle with her, always remembering that Kya is younger than she is, and they never ever argue or fight or even get upset with each other. After we play with Aubrey, Kya asks for her almost every single day for a week! Arun is another friend Kya has had since birth and the three of them are really kind of kindred spirits. They enjoy being around each other and miss each other when they don't see each other. There are three new siblings to add to the mix but well, since they have been born I have moved away and it is hard to get the younger ones together on a regular basis although I am determined not to give up! There are two more girls and a boy who are all around the same age again. SO total there will be 4 girls and two boys... and each little boy gets two girls to play with! lol BONUS right :)
















































She also plays with a little girl named Averi, whom she takes gymnastic class with once a week. They also never ever argue or fight with each other. They play so sweet next to each other and they take care to make sure the other one always has something to play with. They are the same age and I hope they will be life long friends all though school.




















She is a very lucky little girl she has many wonderful little friends. Heather the rockstar.... who is a tender hearted little whisp of a thing, Kya likes to call Feather.... Then there is Zipporah, whom Kya calls "Porah" head strong with an imagination as big as she is, you never know what she will say or do next... she is one step ahead of you that is for sure.



























All of these little girls and boys are Kya's friends and that isn't even all of them. What a cute assortment of personalities.

On another note:
I always find it funny when adults question why I co-sleep with my children who are just that children. No one likes to sleep alone. Husbands and wives can go into detail about how alone they feel when their spouse is out of town. Or how they feel out of touch if one spouse goes to bed earlier than the other. Some spouses even have nightly rituals that include each other, they don't feel relaxed or comfortable if the other is not there. Yet we as adults expect our littlest ones to sleep alone. To curl up in a bed far away from the only thing they know to exist other than themselves....you. Woman are no longer taught to trust themselves or their instincts when it comes to sleeping with their chuldren. Nurseris, cribs, and bassinets are the tools we humans have created to try and make life easier for ourselves. When what we are doing is just the exact opposite.

so that is how i feel about that...
hmmmm
