Wow, it's been a year

You can tell it's been busy, since it's been a year since I've gotten to write about Kaya. So much has happened in the last year. For one, she's given up "dis dis dis, ha ha ha" although she still likes to see it and check up on it every once in awhile, which is funny. That's just been within the last month though! She talks all the time now, and says the funniest things (or at least I think they are hysterical):
- Where is HIM?
- Pass the 'mercials.
- I want to go to 'Muda.
One day on the car ride home recently, Kaya had a 10 min conversation with me about motorcycles. She said that she wants to ride a motorcycle "someday" and that it will be a quiet motorcycle, not a loud one. She told me she would ride up front, and I could ride in the back! When I asked her what color hers would be, she said hers would be yellow, momo's would be purple, and papa's would be pink! then she changed her mind and said papa's could be red.

What else has happened in the past year? let's see...
Kaya started at a new school - Bright Horizon's - and she's very happy there. She has a boyfriend named Ryan, and she hugs his mom every day. Her teacher is Ms. Tina, who is awesome. Kaya also went on some great vacations - to the Caribbean on a cruise with Nanae, Pop Pop and Uncle John, to Disney with Mom and Dad, and to Bermuda with Momo and Poppop. Not a bad year! Over the winter, it snowed a few feet, and Kaya got to go sledding in the back yard for the first time. she loved it when I would pull her down the hill really fast and we would crash (meaning the sled ended up on it's side - Kaya really liked to crash. )
Kaya is fully potty trained now (except at nights). But before she was trained, she was very particular about the diapers she was wearing. For example, there was a phase of only wanting to wear the Dora in the Yellow Dress diaper, followed by cinderella only, and now sleeping beauty (those are the overnight ones). Back when she was potty training, she had an accident on the bathroom floor at school, and she looked at her teachers and said "That was NOT cool".
These are the things I like to remember.

The year of age 2 to age 3 has been such a fun year developmentally. Physically she's lost alot of the babiness about her and looks like a little girl now. Her face is slimmer and her legs are so long. but mentally has been the best. The conversations we have are fun, and it's evident that her thought processes are more mature. She says things like "someday" or "not yet". And she argues every single point - if I say the sun is up, she'll say it's down. If I say her hair is wet, she'll say, "It's not wet, it's dry!". And she can be quite a drama queen about things, but we love her anyway. ha ha.
Favorite shows right now: Dora, Diego, Bolt, and Up. And Blues Clues.
Favorite foods: Pizza (but only the take-out kind), Popsicles, Italian Ice
Favorite clothes: Polka dot dresses (one is getting waaaay too small) and dresses in general.
Favorite activity: Art. She loves to paint with brushes, and she also has filled up about 10 Dot Art books too.
Favorite Color: Yellow and/or Purple (she seems to alternate, but we love the way she says "YellYo".
Her cats: "Guig-giss" and "Fifi". Too funny. They are less afraid of her now, and actually play together.
In the shower: she has a zillion toys, and talks to them constantly the whole time she's in there - she likes to make them all wear necklaces. She calls the cat's collars "necklaces" too!
