Lots of Love

Kaelia is a very caring child and is full of lots of love.  She often likes to shower us with kisses, hugs, and sweet words.  Her recent phrase lately has been in how much she loves us.  She started to say she loves us to 150 because she knows that is a very big number.  But today, she just told me,"I love you 150; I love you not a number.  I just love you forever!"  She is such a sweetheart.

The love goes beyond our family, however.  Kaelia is also quite affectionate in her class - particularly with the boys.  She loves to hug them and give them pet names.  One little boy was gone for an extra week after our last vacation.  When he came back, she ran after him with open arms and said, "Lukie, you're back!"  It comes to no surprise then that Kaelia has had several crushes on boys throughout the school year.  She tends to gravitate towards the boys that make her laugh, and there are two now that she absolutely adores: Jayden and Eli.  She asks one of them from time to time if they will be her boyfriend.  They are usually intrigued by the idea, but then say no with a cute smile or simply just run away.  Today, Kaelia asked Jayden to be her boyfriend, and he replied, "No way, Jose!"  However, his mom has told me that he thinks Kaelia is the prettiest girl in the world and tells his grandparents on Skype that she is his girlfriend.  Kaelia thinks it's pretty funny that the boys can't commit to her verbally yet, though.  Needless to say, we are definitely in trouble when Kaelia gets to her teen years!
