why i love kinley

|
kinley (mike and maura's little girl) turns two this next weekend - crazy!  she is having a curious george themed party to which we are invited, which is very exciting as it is the first kids' birthday party i've been invited to since i was a kid.  since she has taken to stripping off all of her clothes and her diaper whenever her diaper gets the least bit wet, they decided that they may as well start the potty training process.  on saturday, they took her to target to get the cool sesame street potty insert (it sits on top of a normal seat so that the kid doesn't fall in) and some big girl undies.  when we went over to their house on saturday night, kinley was happily running around the house at top speed wearing her undies and a t-shirt.

anyway, at some point maura took kinley back for a bathroom break, but kinley just stood in the hall waiting for me to join them - apparently her auntie m is special enough want to show off new tricks to!  so cute, right?  when she was getting ready for bed a little bit later, maura had her get out her jammies and diaper, but when kinley brought them back out to the living room to be changed, instead of taking them to maura, she set them down in front of me and sat in my lap so that i'd get her ready for bed!  adorable and heart melting.  you just can't say no to a request like that.
