I may be biased, but I happen to think Kayleigh is brilliant.
Why is it that as we grow up we stop celebrating our little accomplishments? Sure, a raise, a birthday, a marriage, or a childbirth are loudly celebrated. But why do we have to stop having our "yay me" moments when we have a good hair day? Or when we find a good bargain on those hot shoes we have been eying? Or when we do a mile on our exercise bike?
I don't know about the rest of you, but I am adding a little bit of "yay me" into my life! I think we all deserve a little self indulged pep talk every once in a while. (And if you feel you need to reward yourself with a "m&m&m" then go for it!)

You are absolutly right.....as adults, we do not 'yay me' enough when something goes well in our day/week/life.
There is that poem thingy 'Everything I learned...I learned in kindergarden' and it's true. We need to embrace our inner children everynow and then, and celebrate a moment, as opposed to only celebrating an occassion.
So very true! We all deserve to 'yay me' more than just for the big stuff.
Kayleigh said a lil "yay me" at seeing her pic on your blog just now btw. So yay you for making her all giggly :)
You said this so well, Michelle! There's something to be said for being a kid now and then when you're an adult. I'm an aunt, too (two nephews ages 7 and 5) and definitely enjoy getting silly with them and hearing the cute stuff they say. Thanks for sharing about Kayleigh!
