Matt has been home from work the past two weeks helping with McKenzie so I could focus on recovering and taking care of Ben. It's been great having him home and McKenzie has taken even more of a liking to "my Da-Da". This little girl figured out really early how to keep Matt working for her affection.
She has the temperament of a cat - she will give you love when she wants to but don't try loving her when she's not in the mood. All Matt wants is a little kiss now and then but for months McKenzie refused . She would kiss the dogs, her baby dolls, any baby she saw, cousin Kayla to the point of them both rolling on the floor but not her Daddy. She would even go so far as to actually face push Matt if he tried to kiss her. She had been getting a little more affectionate but these past two weeks have really been a turning point. McKenzie now gives Matt hugs and kisses on a regular basis and wants to help him do everything.
Last weekend Matt washed his car and though Kenzie might want to help, is she really? Matt put her in the truck bed with some warm soapy water and a scrub brush and she scrubbed that truck bed for almost an hour and a half. She did not want to come in but I finally had to force her to come in since she was soaked and it was getting dark and really cold.

Well, I have to say, you guys sure do seem to be great and very happy parents. Congradulations! I love the fact that between two kids you still have time to sit down and play a game.
Like how I spelled congratulations? And I'm an English teacher....
Ask McKenzie is she would like to come over and wash our cars. They really need it.
