Katie is sleeping on a mattress on the floor, sometimes; mostly she wants us to sing to her and tuck her in on the mattress, and then as we leave, she wants to be put in her crib. I'm not sure how much longer we will tolerate that. We don't want her to have bad feelings about the crib or the mattress, so we are being pretty lenient about which she can sleep in. But the changing of her mind right before she goes to sleep is getting little old.
The other day I planted some mini roses that Dad had gotten for me. Katie was such a good helper. She would scoop out the compost/soil stuff with a cup, and hand it to me to fill the hole before I put the rose in. Then she would throw the plastic container away, and help me water it. She also spent some time picking up rocks from the flower bed. If only she would stay this interested in helping.
Katie has some phrases that she will say for a couple of days straight, then not say again for a week or two. It seems slightly strange to me, but it is cute. One phrase I'm thinking of in particular is "Yep I do". This was the response to ANY question asked for 2 days. It was very cute.
Then yesterday, she started saying "I don't know" to most questions. The funniest part to me is when she will say "I don't know-purple" or whatever the real answer is. I guess that could be her "umm... I'm thinking".
Katie has been a little sick this week. She started out with a fever, but it went away after the first day. Now she has had a cough for a day or two. Not too bad, because she only coughs a couple of times a day. But when she does, it sounds like she is coughing up a lung. She seems to be getting better now. The coughs aren't as bad, or as frequent. Luckily for me, now I have a cough. I'm sure it will go away soon enough.
I know I should have pictures to post, but I haven't taken any recently. I'll try to get a picture of me looking pregnant, and some cute ones of Katie next time.

I sure miss that little cutie!
we're excited for Katie to meet her little cousin! We're also excited just to hang out with her. She's adorable!
She seems to get cuter all the time. I'm pretty sure that's because she knows that she now has competition- serious competition- and that she had better pull out all the stops. Watch out, Katie...in a month you will meet your match!!
Ah, the joys of trying to make your child grow up with as little trauma as possible
for a while i was the only kid in a room with bunk beds. first it was up, then it was down, not sure how my parents put up with that. then my sister moved in and i was regulated to top bunk. no long lasting trauma that i can recall, although i do like to sleep closest to the nearest exit... hmmm....
I think children learn so many things in such a short amount of time that they just like to focus on one thing at a time. I'm glad she is a good helper. Can't she vaccuum or dust yet?
