Kinsey Beans Update!

Kinsey is 3 going on 13.. haha!! She even tells people she is "12" when they ask how old she is, lil stinker.  I am in for it in the teenage years with her ;)  She is growing up to be such a smart and beautiful little girl and number 1 helper.  It amazes me every day when I set out her clothes and she will come to me fully dressed, room cleaned, and bed made.  How did she get so smart, and HOW the heck did she grow up so fast?!  She has started preschool and LOVES it!  She goes to Bravo Arts Academy in Syracuse and I am very impressed.  She has taken her dance classes there and overall it is a great place for kids to learn, explore and grow.  Kinsey's teacher's name is Ms. Brown, but Kinsey calls her Mr. Brown haha we read a book by Dr. Seuss called "Mr Brown can MOO, Can you?" and I think she is just in the habit.  Her teacher is ok with it though ;)  She goes Tuesdays and Thursdays from 855-1115.  Every day she comes home she has an art project, learns a new color, letter, and number and even sign language.  Then at preschool graduation she will preform a song on the piano.  I know they do a lot of singing as well because she is always sing new songs, I LOVE IT :)

*Kinsey and I have full on conversations, and it is the best!  She often asks if we can "talk" when I am tucking her in at night and she will just babble on and on about her day or random things.  It amazes me the things that go through her mind :)

*She is always dancing, singing, or performing of some sort.  Never a dull moment and she always has me cracking up!

*Kinsey likes to tell people she has "Rapunzel" hair.

*If I let her, she would wear a dress every day with necklaces and a purse that weighs more than her. (I think she is a girly girl)

*She learned to ride her trike the beginning of the summer and is now riding her big girl bike with training wheels.  She often reminds me to put her helmet on..

*While on the phone with my dad this morning, he told her he was driving his big truck and she asked him, "are you wearing your seat belt?!" LOL I about died and laughed so hard. Safety is important ;)

*Anytime I need a hug or a snuggle buddy, Kinsey is my girl!  She is so lovey and always willing to give me unlimited kisses and hugs.  She gets excited when I tell her we will snuggle and asks "and watch a mobie with popcorn!?"

*She is such a good big sister!  Even though she knows exactly how to push Harper's buttons, she helps her so much and is always looking after her. 

*Bedtime for her is between 730 and 8pm and she will wake up around 730 or 8am.  Some days she takes a nap and other days she doesn't.  We call it "quiet time" and she has to stay in her room for at least an hour watching a movie, or playing puzzles, or reading.  As long as she is quiet ;)  More times than not she falls asleep and I have to wake her up at 3pm.

*Kinsey LOVES her grandmas!  She can be having a rough day, or upset about something and if I say she can go to grandma's she is a totally different girl. 

Kinsey keeps me going and striving to be a better person on a daily basis! I love my little "string beanie!!"
