“Kitty! Get down…now!!”

Parents, be careful of what you say! Last night as we try to wind down for the night, while we are setting the scene for sleepy time which is turn the low lights on over the fire place, turn the TV on, open the window to let some of that wonderful cool rain air in, get Sydney her sippy cup of milk and maybe a snack, Simon our kitty decides he needs to get in on this fresh air and try to fit in the window along with the box fan. SO Jeremy of course tells Simon not to jump in the window and of course like cats do, he does exactly what Jeremy telling him not to do. So he says “Simon get down”. Well since Simon wasn’t listening, Sydney took it upon herself to yell at the cat until he came out of the window, for a good five minutes she stood at the window with her sippy cup tucked under her arm and her finger on the other hand pointed at the cat and yelled “Kitty! Get down…now!” With authority! So then we needed to spend the next five minutes convincing Sydney that its okay that Simon’s in the window but she felt differently about that. Haha It’s amazing how quickly a child’s language skills flourish. I feel like it was just yesterday when we were cheering her on for saying, mommy, daddy, car and ball. And here we are, in full sentences having conversations with a 2 year old! Boy does this time fly.
