Downtime

Not much has been going on since Christmas. We've been taking it easy. In fact, we still have Christmas decorations up. Ryan doesn't see the need to take them down, and I'm truly not very motivated to do it by myself. And believe me, the help I would get from Katie would just make things incredibly difficult.
She is being so "helpful" lately. I think she says "I do it" more than any other phrase right now. It is really cute, and I'm glad she is learning to be independent and helpful. It is funny when I try to do anything, and she is right there, wanting to do it for me. Just thinking about it makes me laugh, although it is usually a bit trying by the end of the day.
She is also very particular about most things. One day she kept pointing under a chair saying "Uh oh" over and over. I could NOT figure out what was wrong, since there wasn't anything under the chair. I finally moved it, thinking she could see something I couldn't. No, she just wanted to dance on that specific square of carpet that the chair was covering. She is pretty funny. I love being with her every day. I love the cute little things she does each day, and the kisses and hugs she gives fairly willingly. Being a mother is such a fabulous thing.
