Such a cool little kid

I'm very slowly cleaning out my closet, roundin' up dirty clothes and packing stuff up to move in our new house.  The closing is this Wednesday! We are going to be so busy, I swear there is always a calm before the storm.  As Mike typed it to me in our daily emails: 

Closing Wednesday
Removing trim Thursday
Painting Friday
Sanding Saturday

We are painting over that poop orange color, into that SharkLoop color [I manage to spot out SharkLoop in everyday life, and incorporate the word in my vocabulary.]  After painting is all done in our dining room we are tackling all of our hardwood floors.  That is going to be one heck of a job! F'real dude.  We have to sand it once, then put a layer of varnish, then sand it by HAND with SANDPAPER and then go over it again with varnish, and then we might have to sand it again...who knows...but I hope not.  Then after all that homey stuff Mike can move in.  I haven't blogged about this but I've been doing a lot of yard work at the house.  I had on some short purple shorts and a sparkly wifebeater, a Corona hat and some big sunglasses, some SPF 55 on the face and some SPF 15 on the shoulders and tackled the coarse branches.  I looked like a cross between a celebrity out grocery shopping and a hick that drives by on their Harley whilest they jam to their Harley radio/country music.

Anywho.

Back to cleaning out my closet.  I found this calender from my toddlerhood, so I pryed it open.  It's from 1992 So I was 1, going on being 2 in October.  Note: I drew on the cover as my mom wrote in there "Kelsey drew in "my book", as she calls it."

Here are some of my favorite things my mom wrote in this calender:

Feb 1992 (1 year 4 mos.): 

.Crawled and barked--pretending to be a dog.

.Took toilet brush and went around "dusting".

.Acts so silly all the time. Likes to stick her tongue out when she kisses. (hahahha)

.Pretends to pick her nose and eat it-- then laughs at our reaction.

."Reads" out loud.

May 1992 (1 year 7 mos.):

.Pooped in potty for 1st time.  Later in day she peed in potty!  (Heck yeah, Kelsey!)

.Peed in pot.  Chewed first gum.  When Mom exercises, she likes to blow fart noises on her back.

.Loves spinach! Shoves it in her mouth and laughs when we go "Yuck!" (That's sure changed.)

June 1992 (1 year 8 mos.):

.Looked in cupboard- pointed to Paul's coffee cup and said "Da-da" then pointed to my cup and said "mama"

.Showing more and more bratty qualities. :(   (She really did draw a sad face...)

.Definitely seems to prefer using her left hand.  Will she grow up to be a "left-y"?  (Nopes)

July 1992 (1 year 9 mos.)

.Spent night with Daddy in Toledo.  He heard her screaming in the middle of the night and found her standing in the kitchen sink at Grandma and Grandpa Grove's house.  (I remember that, and I still do crazy stuff in my sleep)

.Likes to take all her clothes off and run around naked.

September 1992 (1 year 11 mos)

.Pointed to picture at church and said, "That's Jesus, Mom."
