giving nana props too

so, since we have a post dedicated to papa and what an awesome guy he is, it's only right that we have one to show how awesome nana is too...

kaiya's nana spoils her rotten! seriously! and kaiya knows that she can just give her a little look, and nana will do whatever she wants her to... the kid is a manipulator! (don't know where she gets that from!)

there are certain things kaiya will only do for nana - some sweet, some not so sweet :) like, kaiya does not like to fall asleep in anyone's arms. she would rather be on the floor, in a bed, anywhere she can stretch out. but she'll fall asleep in nana's arms no problem. nana just holds her close and pretty soon you hear the snores and know kaiya has fallen asleep snuggled in with her nana.

somehow kaiya knows when you need a little lovin', and that's usually when she will show off a new skill, or a skill that she hasn't used in awhile. well, nana goes away for the summer so she doesn't see kaiya as much. we were on the phone talking to nana one night, and she asked to talk to kaiya. now i thought nana must be losing it because really, all you're going to hear from kaiya is some heavy breathing and big loud yells..but hey, who am i to judge right? so i put the phone to kaiya's ear and nana is saying all the usual "hi, i miss you, blah blah blah..." stuff. well wouldn't you know, akaiya decides to say "hiiiiiiiiii" to her nana. kaiya says hi sometimes. she doesn't say it at the proper times, or with any regularity, but it is one of her fun little tricks b/c sometimes she gets it right. this night she got it right in a big way! i was so shocked i tore the phone away from her and asked my mom what she said to her, and of course nana was crying so she couldn't really tell me :) kaiya must have known nana needed a lil extra love so she gave her a "hi"...at least that is what nana and i are telling ourselves :)

so we know we definitely don't say it enough, but thank you to nana for all of the cool costumes, and outfits, and toys, and snuggles, and songs, and anything and everything :) kaiya appreciates you and so does her mama.
