Good morning, birdies!

This morning, I was laying in bed...well, actually, I think I was sleeping...but then I heard a tiny little voice in the other room that woke me up. It is extremely unusual for Kallie to wake up and not come into our room to get us. But, maybe telling her that she can get up when the sun does is starting to work! Anyway--I wasn't really ready to get up, so I just sat and listened to what was happening.

Kallie was talking to birdie. She said, "Yellow birdie, come here! Oh no, little birdie, come back. Come back, yellow birdie!" Then she sounded sad...and quickly got happy again and said, "You heard me!" At that point, Ryan came home and Kallie got out of bed when she heard him. When Kallie came in to our room, she held out her hands and said, "Look Mommy!" I squinted very closely at her little outstretched hands, (I wasn't wearing my glasses), and saw that there was nothing there. So, I asked her what was in her hands. She proceeded to tell me that she had birdies in her hands...one red one and one yellow one. I thought it was so cute that she was pretending so early in the morning to keep herself company until the sun woke up, too.
