Let's start this Party!

For the best cousin ever, Happy Birthday!

Highlights

The following post has nothing to do with the above video with the exception of all the general goofiness that comes out of Kaylene. Anyway, I need to write the following down so I don't forget what it was like to be a small family.

Last night while cruising around the neighborhood and a quick trip to Trader Joe's, Kaylene was getting antsy in her car seat (nothing new). Jolene found a discarded Sandra Boyton book in the back seat "Barnyard Dance" and proceeded to give it to Kaykes. She refused. At which point Jolene opened up the book and began to sing the words. We all know Jolene has some minor (or major) musical talent and began to rhythmically rap the song like a square dance caller.

Yes I was driving, but I had to jump in, I began to beat the dashboard with my hand. It was a very hollow steady thump thump thump. And ya know, it sounded pretty good. Well, good enough for a small jam session in the car. And our target audience LOVED it. She began to clap her hands and bounce her head back and forth. She kept on repeating again, again and AGAIN. We did it so many times that Jolene became winded and my hand began to hurt.

It was awesome.

Jolene commented that this time will not last forever and very shortly Kaylene will be rolling her eyes at her very corny parents, but for now, we have her right where we want her. Here is to future jam sessions!

We need a name!

So we know its a girl and we think we might have a name, BUT we are open to any suggestions. No name is off the table! Some before and after reactions up above (enjoy).

Happy Birthday...Aunt Dalene
