Things Keilana Said or Did...

• A cute story that happened this past Sunday (1/18). Lana was suppose to be in Primary but for some reason she wasn't feeling it. So I brought her in Nursery with us after several attempts in getting her to stay put. She played for about 10 minutes in Nursery when I realized, why make it fun for her, she'll want to continue to come back each Sunday and will not want to stay in primary. So I had her sit down and wouldn't allow her to play with the other children, or the toys. A little girl, Brynn, that is in nursery and is in the Preschool class Lana used to attend was enjoying her time with Keilana until I sat her down. Lana was whining to get up and wanted to play and I informed her that if she wanted to get up she could go back to Primary and that Nursery was for the babies. I continued to explain that Primary is for big girls and it's more fun singing and being in there with the other children then sitting down. All of a sudden, Brynn started crying! I asked her what was wrong and she said, "I don't want Lana to go to Primary!" It was SO cute.

• A couple of months back Keilana was sitting on the toilet and she was telling me that she needed to drink more water. The conversation went something like this:
  Keilana: I need to drink more water.
  Mama: Why is that? Does it hurt?
  Keilana: Yes. It does; but, I just need to drink more water so that my poopies don't hurt anymore and that's my talk about that.

• One morning, too early, the kids came in my room and got into bed with me. They fell back asleep but I was having a hard time because they were pushing, shoving, and kicking me out of their way. I went to lay in Keilana's bed but not much later they BOTH woke up and started looking for me. They called out for me but I never answered. I wanted to see how they would react if they thought Mama was not there. They looked all over the house, on all 3 levels but never in Keilana's room. At first Lana started to cry and then all of a sudden she changed, and taking charge, she grabbed Kayden's hand and this is what she said as she led him to his room:
  Keilana: Kayden, Mama isn't here. But it's okay, we just have to wait for her to get back. Let's go in here and wait for Mama to get home.
  At first I was sad that she thought I had left her at home alone. Then I realized how maturely she handled the situation. I was very impressed that she didn't flip out and that she kept her cool and took care of her brother. I'm VERY proud of her.

If you have a funny or cute story of Keilana that you remember, please post it here in breif so I can take note of it for her journal.
