Mikayla is at that incredibly amazing age where everything they do and say is beyond adorable. There is so much curiosity behind her eyes and so much wonderment in the everyday.

Mikayla continues to be an energetic, mischievous monkey, however, she is slowly learning to listen and "obey quickly". She has spunk and I am certain that the other day when she answered, "yes Mommy" there was a note of exasperation in her voice. Name calling has started and it's hard not to laugh when she is shouting, "no Aiden koo koo".

Mikayla's favorite things are playing outside, looking through books, pouncing on her brothers and going to the park or library.

Mikayla has a sing-song, melodic way of speaking. I love hearing her respond with, "Oh, that'd be good." or "Wow, this is so cool".

Here are a few things that have made me smile lately.......

"Mommy, can we watch the hockey game tonight?"

"The hockey game?"

"Yea, I want to watch Boston win!"

(I definitely won't be relaying this conversation to Aiden who has become a strong Canucks fan, although if they keep losing I think he may consider switching over also.)

Mikayla was cooking in her kitchen and I asked her what she was making.

"I'm making soup, yup, definitely making soup."
