Hanging out with Kayle

First of all, I absolutely love this kid. Kayle is my cousin Misti's daughter. Boy does she crack me up! I was hanging out with Misti before I came to work today. We went to watch the Cardinals game against the Giants (sad game) at Buffalo Wild Wings and Kayle insisted she come with us. While we were there the energetic child reminded me very quickly of why I don't have kids yet. She actually wasn't that bad though, really. haha We got back to her house and she wanted me to go color with her in her room. Pretending like I was 3 years old again, I start coloring with her. And she starts to tell me something that had happened...

Kayle: "My daddy took my candy away from me"
Tashina: "Well why did he do that? Where you eating too much of it?"
K: I don't know why he took it away!
T: Hmm, I'm not sure either Kayle. That wasn't very nice of him
K: Yeah, i think you need to spank my daddy!

HAHAHAHA! WOW! She's too funny. I was laughing so hard. Needless to say, I let her know that I wasn't gonna spank her daddy because that would be mean. Plus very inappropriate.

30 minutes later...Misti went to the bathroom to do some laundry and locked the door behind her. Kayle started to act 3 years old and was whining saying "I WANT MY MOMMY!" Eventually I got her to calm down and we started playing and I was "scaring her". More or less i was chasing her around the couch. I finally came up with the idea of scaring her mom when she came out of bathroom. She was thrilled! So we stood behind the door for a good 5 mintues. I told her she had to be VERY quiet so her mom couldn't hear us, and that way we could scare her really good! She actually listened. Nathan started whistling while we were trying to be sneaking and Kayle snapped, 'DADDY! SHHHH!!! We're going to scare mommy!" Haha I was laughing the whole time and kayle had a smirk on her face, hands up and ready to really scare her mom. A few minutes had passed and finally Misti comes walking out the bathroom door. I picked Kayle up to get her to really jump out at her mom, yelling RRRAAAARRRR!!!! Who'da thought, Misti actually jumped!!!! Kayle started laughing hysterically, I was laughing Nathan was laughing, and Misti seemed kind of embarrassed so she started to laugh. I gave Kayle a high five and said "YAY Kayle we scared your mom good!" She was so proud of herself.

I just love that little girl. I've been around her since the day she was born and can't get enough of her. When I told her I had to leave and go to work she wasn't very happy. She came running right behind me and said NNNOOOO Shina don't go!!! HAHA I love it. There are days when I think that I'm never going to have kids. Ask my dad. I tell him every other time I talk to him and let him know that he won't be having any grandkids from me. He doesn't really like that coming from me. But Today hanging out with Kayle are one of those days that I feel like I can really see myself having kids and actually being a great mom. I love that feeling.
