The other day Kardynn was being particularly clingy. I was trying to get the house cleaned up and it was challenging with a child attached at the hip (literally). So I tried to think of ways to distract her. I thought maybe I could get her to "help" me. We proceeded to have a conversation that went something like this:
Me: Would you like to be Mommy's assistant?
Kardynn: I not She-shen, I Kardynn.
Me: No, not Kiersten, A-SSIS-TANT. Do you want to me by A-SSIS-TANT?
Kardynn: Sheshen's downstairs. I Kardynn Engen.
Me: An assistant is someone who helps someone else. You can be my assistant.
Kardynn: No, I Kar-dynn.
And on it went. Eventually I gave up and continued to carry her around on my hip. For the record, typically she doesn't even call Kiersten "She-shen" anymore. She's moved on to calling her Kir-sten.
