Kate is really developing her own little personality and I'm loving every minute of it (well almost every minute)! She surprises us daily with some random fact she remembers, or something new she's learned and she has quite the little imagination. Tonight at dinner, her bundle of grapes became a coconut tree and then a bicycle. She can turn almost any random item in the house into cookies or a cake and offers them to me several times a day. She is also becoming more independent and likes to do most things herself, along with that comes being more possessive and the other day when I said "Oh my goodness" she responded with "NO! MY goodness!" She said her first prayer (all by herself) tonight, this is what she said:
Dear Heavy Fadder
Tank you for dis day
Tank you for blessings
Tank you for my Walmart
Name of Jesus Christ, MEN!
Don't ask me where the Walmart part came from, maybe because we're there on an almost daily basis?!?!?! It is one of her favorite stores to go to!
We've know Kate was a sensitive little bug almost from the day she was born, but the other night she blew me away with her tender little heart! I was having a rough day and was dishing up dinner for everyone (dinner time is one of the most stressful times of the day in our house) and I'll spare you the details, but I had a mild freak-out and stormed off to my room. Here is Kate and Jason's conversation that followed immediately:
K: Mommy's Mad! (in a sad tone)
J: No, Mommy's just sad
K: I get Mommy food! I get Mommy food!
J: Ok, lets get Mommy some food (Jay then proceeded to dish me up a plate and stick it in the microwave)
K: I go see Mommy
She then leaves her favorite meal on the table and comes back to my room to see me, she comes in..
K: Hi Mommy!
M: Hi Kate.
K: You ok?
M: Yes, I'm ok (she then crawls into bed with me)
J: (calls from the kitchen)Kate come eat your dinner
K: (yells back) I nuggle Mommy for one minute, I nuggle Mommy, one minute!
K: (to me in a whisper) Mommy, come eat dinner with us, Mommy, come eat dinner with us
M: OK. Kate, I love you, thank you for making me happy
K: (all the way down the hall) Your welcome Mommy, Your welcome Mommy!
Oh, I love that little girl!
Here are a few pictures of how she makes me laugh:
Using my candle wreath as a necklace
The other day, as I was coming out of Blake's room after putting him down for a nap, I saw this:
She found Jason's old racket ball racket and said, OH! A Heart! (meaning a harp) and then proceeded to play it!
Today when we got home from the library, she was messing around in the coat closet, I went in during her nap to get the vacuum and found her coat, hung up!
we love this girl!
