Ears. Falling. Off.

Tonight Cassie is spending the night at my parents. Kalli is here with me. Keeping me company. Kinda. Have I mentioned the fact that she talks CONSTANTLY?? She does.

I'm sitting here trying to fix up some pictures I took earlier today and she talking non-stop. Half of it is not even directed towards me. Therefore I only listen about a quarter of the time. That is until I hear her saying that my clock is cheating. Huh?

Me: What did you say?
Kalli: Your clock is cheating.
Me: How is my clock cheating?
Kalli: The last number is cheating.
Me: What do you mean the last number is cheating?
Kalli: It is going faster then all the other numbers. It is cheating.
Me: oh. That is how it is suppose to work. The last number changes the most.
Kalli: Na-uh. My clock doesn't do that. Your clock is cheating.
Me: O-kay.

I gave up at that point of the conversation. My clock is cheating. I bet it even cheats more during the night. That is probably why I feel like I don't get much sleep.

I just asked Kalli to stop talking for a little bit. She looked completely dejected and went out in the living room to whine. I went out to talk to her and told her that my ears hurt and are going to fall off from listening to everything that she is saying. She then said, " No...they are stuck to your head. They will never fall off." This is when I said ok and walked away. Pick your fights, Paula, Pick your fights. She is still going on (following me) about how "they are stuck to your head forever and won't fall off. Never!"

Seriously...I understand how my parents felt when I was younger and I talked constantly. Or how my babysitter's daughter felt when she said that her ears hurt from listening to me. Cause my ears do hurt.

Alright. I'm going to go lay down and hopefully get Kalli to cuddle with me and fall asleep. Because when she is asleep - she doesn't talk. With my luck she'll start talking in her sleep now.

Graceful....she is not

Second post of the day. Look how I spoil you!

Yesterday Kalli went into my room where Cassie was on the computer. Cassie made a face at Kalli and Kalli turned and ran from the room. I was in the kitchen when Kalli went running by and ran straight into the corner of the wall. She bounced ever so gracefully off the wall and landed in a heap on the floor. This is when the crying began. I scooped her up and tended to her. Other then scared and a little sore she was fine. (As fine as you can be after running face first into a wall)

Tonight Kalli is sitting on my bed watching Cassie who is on the laptop. All of a sudden Kalli is on the floor and again is crying. Somehow, she slid off the bed and landed on her butt on the floor. I ask her what happened and she isn't quite sure. About 10 minutes later it happens again. I'm in the bathroom washing my face and getting ready for bed and Kalli starts crying. I come into the bedroom to find her on the floor again. This is becoming a trend with Kalli.

I find her falling, tripping, and running into things quite often. I am not sure if it is the fact that she is all limbs right now and doesn't know how to put one in front of the other without getting entangled or if she was just born with 2 left feet. There was once a time when she was younger that she walked into a sign at Pizza Hut. She had been following us until she started crying. I looked back to find her standing in front of a sign. As we sat down to eat a red line appeared down the length of her face.

I find myself thinking today the same thing I did back then. I should have given her the middle name of 'Grace'. At least then she would have some grace then.

Priceless

Andy is home from work and is laying on the bed. Lightning walks up to his feet and sniffs them. Lightning jumps back, sneezes, then shakes his one front paw and begins cleaning his face.

I collapse in laughter. It is exactly how I would feel.
