While on vacation with my family in California we had what we like to call the Nail Polish Incident. Kylee was sleeping on the floor right next to my side of the bed. And since we had just moved out of our apartment and went straight to the hotel we had all of our stuff in our hotel bedroom...including my nail polish. Normally the nail polish is up high, but this was not a normal situation. Steve and I woke up at 6:30 am in a panic at the smell of nail polish only to find Kylee, her bed, and Roberta ("Berta") her pink rabbit covered in puddles of nail polish. Kylee sweetly said, "Mom, look I did it!" She was so proud that she had painted her nails (and Berta's) that there was no way we could be mad. She thought she was being such a big girl.
The amazing part was that a pillowcase was the only damaged item from the hotel and they didn't charge us for it. Because Berta was so stinky and stained we had to get a new one. But, we couldn't find a replica so we had to go with another animal. Steve and I chose a monkey and crossed our fingers that she would be OK with it.
Well, it was love at first sight. This little pink monkey is lovingly called "Monkey Berta" in memory of Roberta the Rabbit and all the sweet memories she brought.

My sister used to have those poka dot Minnie Mouse sheets. That's hilarious. She is getting so big and so cute.
Kylee's hair is so long! What a cutie!
SO CUTE! I can't believe how much hair Kylee has all of the sudden. She's seriously a doll!
You're lucky she went for the monkey. Keaton has a little bear one of those that he affectionately named "Baby", and it has been attached to him at bedtime since he was 6 months old. It's falling apart and seriously has a permanent smell. We've tried to replace it with about five different ones, but nothing can substitute for Baby. Even still-he's 3 1/2 and has to sleep with Baby! Weirdo.
