Kaiya Tales

Kaiya is really cracking us up with the things she says and does lately. I wanted to post all these so I don't forget them. That's the great thing about the blog. It not only serves to keep family and friends updated, but it becomes a journal for me to preserve these memories with.

So... here are the latest Kaiya tales:

Kaiya has set TV viewing times -- when she first wakes up in the morning and then again when I am making dinner. She knows these are the times she can watch a DVD, but she still checks to see if the rules have changed at least 26 times a day. Usually she asks straight out if she can watch a DVD. Only lately... the little smarty pants has been asking,

10 a.m.
Kaiya -- Mom, you make my dinner now?
Me -- Kaiya, no. It's only 10 a.m. Dinner is like 7 hours away.
Kaiya -- Please, make dinner now!!!

Dinner = DVD

Note to all: The only nickname Kaiya will be called is: Monkey. Today I called her "baby-cakes" to which she replied, "No call me baby-cakes. Call Kaiya monkey. Two hours later I accidentally said, "Get in your seat chicky-baby." "Call Kaiya monkey!!" Today leaving the house, "See you later, gator." "No call me alligator -- call Monkey!"

Also -- do NOT refer to her hindquarters as anything but bottom. Conversation overheard in the bathroom today:

Tony: Let me wipe your booty.
Kaiya: No call booty. It called my bottom.

When using an umbrella on a rainy day, only refer to yourself as Mary Poppins. Along with random breaking into song singing Hakuna Matata, we will also hear, "Snap! Da dob is a dame!" Translated: Snap! The job's a game! usually followed by "piece of cake!" Excerpt from Just a Spoonful of Sugar by Mary Poppins.

Anything that makes her excited usually gets a: "Yee-Haw!"

Me: Kaiya, come here! We need to go to Trader Joe's.
Kaiya: Trader Joe's? Yee-Haw!
