Our Weekend

Birthday Party #1:

Katie rides in wagon.  Good.
Katie tries to "cook" with large jugs of condiments.  Bad.
Katie ransacks the utensils.  Bad.
Katie tries to throw a frisbee.  Good.
Katie sticks her hand in the ice bowl and then throws a handful in the community pitcher of lemonade.  Bad.
Katie dances.  Good.
Katie finds a bird bath.  Bad.
Katie runs around a lot.  Good.
Katie grabs a cup, dunks it in the bird bath and takes a sip.  Bad.
Katie tries hot dog and doesn't like it.  Good.
With no cup to be had, Katie tips the bird bath just enough to get her lips to the edge for another sip.  Bad.
The cake is unveiled.  Katie walks up to it and sticks her finger in the side.  Bad.  But funny.
Katie eats only 3 little bites of chocolate cake and about 6 bites of vanilla ice cream.  Good.

Birthday #2:

Katie takes a header out of a sandbox onto a stone patio.  Bad.
Katie engaged with play kitchen for the entire party.  Good.
Katie eats a toddler-sized vanilla cupcake with vanilla frosting.  Good.
Katie pokes her own eye on the way home and has a complete meltdown in the car.  Bad.

I think we have another birthday to go to next weekend too.  Sigh.

In other news.....

Katie's been singing the ABC song for a while now.  Most of the time she ends the song like this, "Now Katie knows ABC's.  Next time won't you sing wit me."
Today it ended like this, "Now Strawberry knows ABC.  Next time won't you sing Baby Bell."

I'm trying to teach Katie how to answer, "What's your name?"  Lots of people ask her when we go places.  She knows her name.  She's known it for a long, long time.  But, when I ask her, "What's your name?"  She says, "Macaroni".  She has a nice laugh over this.  

"No, that's not your name!  What's your name?" I reply.

"Macaroni Kid."

April 2024 - Part 2

I'm not gonna lie. The rest of April was about Cinderella and pretty much just Cinderella.  We arrived back from Mexico for the start of...
