Buddies and big girl stuff

Kaelyn has had a bit of a cough that intensifies about triple when she goes to bed.  The other night she kept coughing and coughing for awhile despite us giving her cough medicine.  She woke up several times from coughing so hard and came out while we were still up.  Between that and the fact that it stormed that night, she ended up in our bedroom.  Buster of course, feels like he needs to be with her when she goes to bed, at least at the beginning of the night.  Usually he lays at her feet but I think he must have sensed that she wasn't feeling well and was restless because when I went back to the bedroom later, he was right up near her.

We found these shirts at Wal-mart when we were grocery shopping Saturday.  Of course Kaelyn loved them because they had Chip and Dale on them and when I suggested that we could get one for her AND Megan because they said "Best Friends" she was all excited.  I had them try them on Tuesday afternoon and they both wore them to Chick-fil-a that night.  Kaelyn was so excited (Megan was too according to Rod and Betty).  She (Kay) has never actually had matching clothes with anyone like that before.  They were just so cute!

P. S.  I love the fake pink suspenders on the shirts.  Kay desperately wanted to wear her shirt to school the next day but they have to wear shirts with collars on them.  She was SO disappointed!

This ice cream cone was a pretty big deal for Kaelyn.  :-)  She usually always gets ice cream in a cup.  She struggles with coordination sometimes and she never has quite figured out the way to lick the ice cream and eat it without eating it off of a spoon.  She loves ice cream so much that it usually doesn't bother her what form it's in.  At Chick-fil-a they let kids turn their kid's meal toy back in at the register in exchange for free ice cream if they don't want the toy or already have it.  When it was time for the girls to get their ice cream, Kaelyn informed us that she wanted a cone this time.  And after all, she is getting pretty big - she's about to turn six here in a little over a week.  :-)

As Kay was finishing her ice cream, Megan was headed back to the playground and said, "Kay-Kay, do you want to come play with me?"  Kaelyn said, "Absolutely!"  :-)  She's such a little me sometimes in things I hear her say but I love her enthusiasm.
