So last night we went to dinner with some friends. We had so much fun, except I think that they may have decided against kids after spending some quality time with Mac. I have gotten to the point where when we are out in public, most of my time is spent trying to appease Mckinley. Last night fell into that category completely. Half way through dinner, she decided that she wanted to play with the complementary crayons. So what did I do? Hand them over. All four of them. They were brand new, and they looked perfect. Chris and I got wrapped up in another conversation with our friends, far and away in adult world (sometimes I like to be here, and other times (like around April 15th) I seriously would not mind boycotting adult world). All of the sudden, Mac started doing her dramatic choking/coughing show. This used to freak me out completely, but I have come to know that my daughter does like to put a DRAMATIC twist on things (wonder where she got that from...I am not saying any names... out loud). Chris on the other hand went into the normal freak out mode where he starts hitting her on the back like she is some sort of thief trying to pocket his I-phone. At this point I am thinking: A) my daughter could potentially be choking or B) she is going to be injured severely by her father's tactics in attempt to save her. Well, she did neither. Instead, she looked up and smiled, and that is when I noticed that her teeth were filled with blue, yellow, red, and green chunks of crayon. AWESOME....at least they are not toxic, and no more crayons for us....for a long, long time.
This picture represents one of Mckinley's favorite past times. She loves the photo booth feature on the MAC. She will sit there for hours and take pictures, of herself of course. Please take note of the chewed up goldfish she is showing off to the world. She loves her some goldfish.
Her newest game is walking into a room, and shutting the door behind her. She knows that one of her overworked parents will come and open the door, at which point she runs off to hide (all while laughing hysterically). I am afraid that her red hair is really starting to show some of its true color.
Amazingly, her favorite book right now is the Big Picture Bible. She can't even hold the book it is so big and heavy. She does not like for us to read it to her. Rather, she would like to sit and flip the pages as fast as possible without even taking note of the pictures. Hopefully, one day she will read the words.
She really is the biggest joy to be around. Some days, I take a step back and try to soak up this precious gift God has blessed us with. She is already growing up way too fast.
