I was over at my mom's house so we could color each other's hair and my kids were playing in the backyard. Jordyn was happy go lucky while I was getting it colored but once my mom put the shower cap on, she got all timid. She cuddled up to my dad (which he didn't mind one bit) and wouldn't come to me AT ALL!! She was totally scared of that crazy thing on my head. I washed my hair and had a towel on my head thinking this would make her feel better (she's seen me with at least that on before) but she still shied away from me. I had to change her diaper, which she didn't enjoy, and she started to scream. I tried to calm her down and she just kept screaming and screaming. My mom finally told me to lose the towel, which I did, and started to sing to her. Once I started singing, she immediately stopped crying and finally cuddled up to me. Poor baby. So, if everything else fails, sing!!!
I also have to mention my funny Makenna! The funniest things have been coming out of her mouth. Mostly because it's a carbon copy of me!! If Jordyn is fussy or crying, she will say, "Goodness gracious child" or "Oh my goodness!!" She will also say, "I'm not playing with you" or "Be patient!!" Ugh....I need to watch what I say around this one. She is definitely my parrot. But at the same time, she will come up with her own stuff. Jordyn was waking up from her nap in her crib and Makenna wanted to go get her by herself! But she told me to come help her in a minute because she can't roll her window down!!! She had both Travis and I laughing!!! Also, just this morning, I laid back down once I put Jordyn down for a nap and my Kenna came up to snuggle with me. She leaned her head on mine and said she loved me. It was so precious. Then she said out of the blue "oyo?" I say that to her all the time because 'oyo?' means 'You hear me?' in Spanish. Travis would say that to me all the time so it stuck with me. Obviously I use it a lot since my parrot is saying it now. My funny kid;)
