Kate is four and a half. I love the way her mind works. Here’s a glimpse:
This is what I saw after she helped by putting the chicken nuggets and tater tots on the cookie sheet! I laughed out loud and tried not to tip them over as I put the pan in the oven!
And then.
This [...]

Meg was singing the ABCs and Kate started joining in so I got out my camera and asked them to sit together and sing again. Here’s what I got. Notice the difference between the first and second renditions – guess which is more normal at our house!
A few days later, I [...]

To understand my amusement with the following conversation, you have to know two things: 1) Kate has NEVER refused sausage in any form. She’ll eat as much as I’ll give her. 2) Kate rarely volunteers information about preschool and usually won’t answer questions either.
Kate and I are eating lunch yesterday.
Kate: I had breakfast on a [...]

Here are some pics from Kate’s birthday. She turned four. She got her mama’s huge sweet tooth, but her daddy’s dislike for caramel! Obviously, she did NOT get those two things for her birthday, but humor me and enjoy a random fact about my sweet Kate.
Kate got to choose the color and decorations for her [...]

Happy Birthday, sweet Kate!
I can’t believe it’s been four years since you were born. Here are some things I love about you:
You try to make an “icky” face to pretend you are upset – but it’s not icky.
You ask questions about everything.
You have a sweet tooth.
You are excited to do new, independent things – like [...]
Some days I think this girl is almost fourteen instead of four.
Kate is every bit as pensive as this picture. She often talks about things that happened months ago and things that might happen.
“Someday, Mama, can I ride on a camel?”
“Someday, Mama, can I feed a carrot to a bunny?”
“I’m not going to tell you, [...]

Look at her, already, not even four, doesn’t have time just to eat! Of course, neither do I! Sheesh, I wonder how many minutes she’ll need on a cell phone?

Yesterday Kate had scissors and paper and was attempting to make paper snowflakes. But she did NOT want any help from me in the folding or cutting. Except after she cut many slits, opened the paper and it still looked like a full sheet of paper! Then she was willing to listen as I tried [...]

Well, Kate is obsessed with dancing ballet all over the house, and sometimes on the sidewalk. And she keeps asking for ballet shoes that will help her stand on her toes! (How do you explain to a 3-yr-old that 1) we don’t just buy everything we want and 2) they don’t make toe shoes to [...]

I thought I wasn’t going to have this day for a couple more years, but an opportunity I couldn’t resist came up and Kate is going to preschool here in Belleville two mornings a week. Yesterday was her first day. She was excited, but serious. And didn’t volunteer too many details on getting home – [...]
