How to speak "Kailey"

I was thinking the other day how, as parents, Shelli and I need to know the difference between what Kailey says and what she means. This language skill is very important and worth sharing.

When Miss Kailey says, "I want to walk on my feet.", she means that she would prefer to go without shoes and walk barefoot.

When Miss Kailey says, "I can't like it", it is her intention to tell you that she would prefer to not do whatever it is you are asking her to do. This may involve going somewhere, eating something, or almost anything else. Dad, "Kailey, I am going to the store. Would you like to ride with me?" Kailey, "I can't like it."

When Miss Kailey says, "I want to go to the parking lot", she is expressing her desire to walk to the neighborhood park at the end of the street.

When Miss Kailey says, "I saw a Mr. Thomas", she has actually spotted (normally in a book), a rhinoceros.

We're pretty sure that she will outgrow all of these, but in the mean time, we are enjoying learning the little special phrases that Kailey is teaching us.
