We're The Millers: Kinley

Kinley -

You are two years old! Two years ago I wasn't sure how I was going to love another child the way that I loved Reagan, but in the instant you joined our family, my heart just grew bigger. It's hard to believe that you've been a part of us for two whole years!

You just love to sing! Your favorites are 'Baa, Baa Black Sheep', 'Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star', 'Johnny, Johnny', 'ABCD's', 'The Itsy Bitsy Spider', and 'The Wheels on the Bus'. You sing in the car, outside, and even at 3am when you are in our bed.

You are Reagan's biggest fan. Anything she can do ... you have to do too! You two are sharing a bedroom and sleeping in bunkbeds. So far, you're loving it.

You used to be a sleeper and honestly, Mommy and Daddy miss that. Since you've transitioned to your big bed, you have only slept through the night a handful of times. You wake up and come to our room to get in bed with us. You love to snuggle in and cuddle. When you wake up and say "Good Morning" in the sweetest voice, it just makes everything all better.

Your vocabulary amazes us! I had a conversation with you on the phone and wondered if it was Reagan because you were talking so big. You are speaking in complete sentences most of the time. There are still a few times we can't understand you.

You can rote count to 14 and can count to 10 using one to one correspondence. You can recognize and name the numbers 1 to 10 in any order (thanks to your counting books). You know most of your colors and shapes. You can recognize the letters K, H, W and B. This makes your teacher parents so proud!

You LOVE to read books! Your favorites are 8 Silly Monkeys, 10 Little Lady Bugs, and The Itsy Bitsy Spider. You often bring us books and want us to read them at that moment.

You're an outside girl! You like to play ball, swing, climb, and jump. BUT you don't like spiders ... or anything that might resemble a spider.

We're looking forward to watching you take on your new role as a Big Sister in a very short time. I'm anxious to see your first reactions when you see your baby sister.
