3/3/09 and 3/3/16 (Yes I quickly posed him for this shot. I could have gotten it closer but I didn’t want him to lose interest.)

Katie doesn’t want to nap.
In the second video she says I’m painful because I was not letting her stay downstairs. Meaning I was making her take a nap.
She slept for three hours.
She loves hats!
We weren’t going anywhere, she just wanted to wear her hats!
Two hats even!
Katie dancing with Elmo
Free falling!
Gymnastics Day!
Pigtails again!
Peek!
We arrived early enough so she could take a quick run on the balance beam.
Katie’s eventful walk in the woods.
We all went out for a walk since it was such a nice day. It was also a test for Katie—she always wants to go with me/Owen but it’s two miles and I know she’d want me to carry her…and that ain’t happening. (Daddy usually ends up carrying her so she’s spoiled…but I can’t do it.) So…off we went. Some days she likes to be the Line Leader. Today she wanted to be pokey and hold daddy’s hand.
And before we even completed the first mile, her legs were tired and she wanted to be carried. See?! I knew it! So Tom carried her off and on. And then…she had to go potty. So off they went for her first potty in the woods! Which didn’t go very well and she peed on her pants (but we were almost finished by that point so no biggie).
Kidisms 24
Tom snuck up behind Owen and scared him.
Owen: AHHH! You heart attacked me!
Something I bought was the perfect thing I’d been looking for.
Tom: Winner winner chicken dinner.
Katie: What? We’re having winner chicken for dinner?
At Gander Mountain:
Katie: Mama! The fishie got dead by a bear because bears eat fishies.
Katie couldn’t get her clothes on: I’m hard to do it.
Okay, NOW he looks seven.
#haircutwithdaddy
And Katie had to get her picture taken, too.
Excited about pizza!
I love her face!
Surprise! A new Cinderella dress!
Friends gave us a Cinderella dress because it was too big for their kids. This is me surprising Katie with it.
Happy girl!
Cough checkup
We took Owen to the doctor about three weeks ago because he had a bad cough. Today was just a recheck because he’s still coughing a little and I just wanted to make sure he wasn’t getting worse. He’s fine.
Crazy Hair Day
He was super excited for this day. He remembered we had the colored gel—and exactly what colors we have!
I’m not sure where he got this pose, but it was the very first thing he did. 🙂
Green on one side…
Orange on the other…
And pics from the school’s Facebook page:
Good morning! Oh wait, a tantrum about donuts. Yay.
For some unknown reason, she had it in her mind that daddy was getting her donuts for breakfast…and this is what happened when I told her that wasn’t happening. (I asked Tom later if he mentioned anything about donuts at any time and he said he didn’t even say the word.)
Just until daddy gets home.
It’s storming and she’s scared…so I get cuddles. I had Owen, too, but he left since Katie was crowding him. But Katie told me as soon as daddy gets home she’s cuddling with him. #daddysgirl
They crack me up.
They usually play like this when Owen gets home from school.
Katie singing Happy Birthday
I asked Katie if she wanted to sing Happy Birthday to a friend so I could record it and she said yes. Here’s what happened. 🙂
Waiting patiently at Ikea.
Katie gets to play for a bit at Ikea while I shop. I really only needed 10 minutes to grab one thing but she LOVES the play area and doesn’t always get to go (they’re often full with a wait list) so I let her today.
Katie counting bunnies
She has to count out eight bunnies to play the game. Apparently they have to be in s certain order as well. 🙂
Not quite big enough.
She sat like this for a few minutes…hoping the box would suddenly get bigger…?!
A quick Katie cuddle
Two faces of Katie
Katie’s second time at gymnastics
And she loves it. LOVES IT. LOVES LOVES LOVES IT!!
I asked and she let me do them today!
She never wants tails anymore. But she had gymnastics this morning so maybe that’s why she let me.
Our first nice day in awhile!
It’s the first really nice day we’ve had so I took the kids to the library playground and walked two miles while they played.
A friend of Owen’s was there so they had fun running around together.
Kids in a boat at the mall
Their treat while I did a return at TJ Maxx.
I’m jealous. I never get this.
I may get a few minutes in a chair, but I never get full body cuddles. She’s definitely daddy’s girl.
Six seconds of cuddle
Usually about all I get.
Socks are hard.
Things were going well until she got to the socks. Some days she has no problems. Today was not one of those days.
