My Nieces



Right now I'm supposed to be reading my text book for Sociology, so I thought I would procrastinate and write a quick blog about my nieces, Kacee and Taylor.

I went to London on Sunday to visit and go to the fair with my sister Amy and her daughter, Taylor who will be two on October 2nd. I was a little disappointed that I wouldn't be able to see Kacee as well, since my brother didn't have her this past weekend. But when we got to the fair, we ran into her and her mom!

It was great, I got to see both Kacee and Taylor! Kacee was SO happy to see us, and gave me a big hug right away. When we left, she was quite upset and cried a lot. It's hard to have to say goodbye to her after a short visit like that, she doesn't understand.

The fair was fun, but Taylor didn't want to have anything to do with it. On the way there she was excited to see the chickens (we were worried that there wouldn't even be any chickens there!) but when we got to the chickens, she didn't want to see them. In fact, she didn't want to see anything! Every time we asked her something, like: "Do you want to see the cows? Do you want to go on that ride?" she would get very angry and say: "NO!"

Of course, after we left the fair, she asked: "chickens?"

When I told her that she had already seen the chickens, she seemed disappointed, and asked to see them again.

The only thing she seemed to like was the chicks that we saw, I think because we expained to her that they were "baby chickens" and they were tiny tiny tiny. Also, her mom is going to have a baby, so she can somewhat identify with that.

However, I think she is going to be somewhat disappointed when Mommy has a human baby, and not a dinosaur, which would be Taylor's preference.
