I dont think so

So Katie has learned a new catch phrase.... I dont think so.... The conversation goes something like this:

Me: ITs time for Bed
K: mmmmm, I dont think so mom

Me: Its time to get ready to go to school
K: MMMM, I dont think so Mom


When did this child become 3 going on 13???

Feeling better

So I went to the dr yesterday and he said I have the same viral illness that everyone in the county has. But he did give me some cough medicine with codeine in it so I could get a decent nites sleep. I have to say- it worked and I feel like a new woman!

Poor Sarah, she had this big red bump on her leg. Took her to the ped and she had a secondary reaction to the chicken pox shot. It thankfully is going away but I felt so bad for her. She continues to crack me up. She is so different from Katie. She is such a little bruiser but at he same time she is such a girly girl. She loves playing with the dress up clothes and boa and tiara. Jims dad said she will be a girly girl but she will be able to take out anyone who crosses her.

Today Katie got her first library card and took out 2 books. The county storymobile goes around to the different daycares and if you are 3 and up you get to go on it and pick out 2 books. My girl is so big! They are also doing a reading contest at school and at the end of the month they will a gift certificate to Pizza hut for free individual pizza. Who knew this stuff would start so early!

Sick

Hi all

sorry I have not updated in a few days - I have been wiped out with a really bad cold and fever. I think I might have another sinus infection but I will no more when I go to the drs later on.

You Mell

So Katie has learned that when she smells something funky to tell whoever is around that they smell - usualy it ends up being - you mell mommy! Nice! The conversation goes something like this:

K:- You Mell mommy
Me: I dont smell Katie
K: Yes you do! You farted!
M: Katie, I did not! Andthats not a nice thing to say to someone!
K: ok - I mell something stinky mommy!

Ugh!!!! How do you teach a 3 yr old not to tell someone they smell or they smell somthing stinky?????

Valentines Day

So the girls both had good valentines days. I had to laugh. I asked KAtie if she would be my valentine and she said NO! I said, no?, expecting to hear that it would be her good buddy Dylan B. Instead she goes No Thomas is my valentine. Yes Thomas the Train is more of an appeal then mommy now.

I was kinda stunned at the take that both my girls accumulated on that day. I thought I was being the cool mom and took Katie to the store and we picked out valentines for both her and Sarah that came with Candy. Woo-hoo I thought and we filled every ones out. Yeah, that was pretty much the norm in Katies class - seriously every valentine had some type of candy and or pencil attached to it! Some mom's even did complete goody bags! Made my little Dora candy look sad in comparison. Katies teacher Miss Jody also went all out! Katie got a little dog, a cup, pencil, homemad rice krispie trieats and she even gave them Fun dip- thanks Miss Jody!

Power of Prayer

Jim and I were both raised to eat dinner as a family and to say grace as part of the dinner. As we became a couple and started living together we instituted the same traditions. We sit down together to eat and we say grace. Its just a simple grace that I grew up with. As our family grew- first with Katie then with Sarah we continued it. I think it is now become my favorite part of dinner. Katie has on occasion when we have been out to dinner made us stop and say grace and has also made us say it several times at home till she is satisfied that it was said right by everyone and that everyone had their hands folded correctly (in her mind). Now as Sarah has moved from the high chair to a booster seat, the tradition continues with Katie helping to say the grace and Sarah clapping her hands together in glee. It honestly does not get much better then that.

Sweats and Giggles

So Katie went for her test this morning. The 2nd sweat test and again - she did not sweat a drop. Per our dr and the biochemistry woman they want to let it go for 30 days and then try again. Fun times! Luckily its a non invasive test and Katie thinks she is wearing a watch like mommy and daddy.....

So I went for my semi-annual check up with the dermatologist this morning. Everyhting looked good ( I had a pre-cancerous mole so I have to go an get periodic skin checks) but I was stuck with a funny thought and could not help but giggle. When she does a skin check she has this huge magnifying glass that she uses and I could not help but think she looked like Emma Thompsons character from the Harry Potter movies- Professor Trelawney. It made me giggle. Now let me emphasize that without the magnifying glass she looks nothing like that character......

Happy Friday to everyone!
