sweet little kitty

Well this is going to be short because I'm in a hurry, but I have a few things before I forget.

First of all, I was in Kat's room and I told her to go get something. She was gone too long so I called her again. On the third time I was annoyed and I said, "Kat! Get in here right now!" She came in very calmly and said, "I just heard you calling me". Oh she's so full of it, I love it!

Kat sings her ABC's from beginning to end with no mistakes. She even does perfect on the LMNOP part. She is very proud of herself when she finishes the song, and I love to hear her do it. She is also singing most of Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star.

Two days ago she went on her first errand with Daddy... while wearing panties! They went to get milkshakes the first day and then the day before yesterday she went to the grocery store with him in panties and didn't have any accidents! Finally we're turning a corner!
Chad went into her room the other day to find her sitting in the rocking chair, holding her baby wrapped in a blanket and singing "Rock A Bye Baby" to her baby. It was very sweet. No one tells her to do these things, she just does. She's a very smart little girl.

Today I asked her if she'd like to count to 10 with me. We hadn't done that in a while so I expected her to move slowly. She counted 1 to 10 like it was second nature. She surprises me a lot.

She asked me to get into her bed the other day and I told her that Mommy was sick and I didn't want to put sick germs into her bed and get her sick. She thought for a moment and said, "I got sick once in the car. I threw up." Then she went on to say, "It's OK though because Daddy cleaned me all up. I got some on my book too and Mommy cleaned it off for me". This happened well over a month ago but she still remembers the details. I just can't believe she can remember that far back, especially since we never talk about it.

Sometimes I take a bath with Kat for time's sake. She will get her cup of water and pour it on my belly button and say, "I'm bringing the baby water". She'll pour it and listen to my belly and say, "The baby says thank you". She is going to be a very good big sister I think. Also, she sings Rock A Bye Baby to my tummy because I told her that the baby can hear her. She talks to my belly button and says, "Baby! Come out soon baby!" Poor thing, there is a long wait yet for that!

Also strange for her age, she is very good at sharing. She loves to divide up her jewels and put them in different purses and give one to me, her daddy and herself. She'll say, "Here this one is for you".

The other day I was at the doctor and when the doctor came in, my little tiny 2 year old said, "Look Mommy! She has a stethoscope!" She is so smart. The doctor just looked at her and said, "you're very cute, aren't you?" Kat said, "yeah" very matter of fact like. I didn't notice at the time, but my life must have been very boring before she came along.

My little helper

Oh my it's been a while. I'm sure I've forgotten most of the amazing things that Kat has done in the last month, and there have been many! She unfortunately doesn't care to take naps anymore, she thinks she's the boss of this house, she speaks like a 5 year old, and sings. What else? Oh she wears panties during the day and usually goes without accidents.

The other day it rained and then there was a gorgeous rainbow. She said, "It's far, far away isn't it Mommy?" I said yes it is. She said, "Let's go find it Mommy!" Little sweetheart. I asked her how much I loved her, expecting her to reach her arms as far as they would go and say "thiiiiiiis much!" Instead she smiled and said "with all your heart". Well, she's right.

She was making me angry the other day (Probably from not taking a nap) and I told her that she was making me angry. She says "I don't make you angry Mommy, I make you happy".

Also I've been very sick with this pregnancy, so when I gag or say I feel sick, she runs and gets me sparkling water, which she calls "sprinkle water". She holds my hand and say "I'm helping you Mommy! I'm helping you!" The down side of that is that she always says "my tummy not feel too good. I need medicine." or "my bottom is red. I need atemeal (oatmeal) bath". She always has some sort of ailment and she usually knows just what she needs for it... be it tylenol, tums, etc. Usually she's right, too, about which fix goes with what problem.

When Hubby is feeling especially jack assey he says "bah!" Kat doesn't like it apparently because she tells him now, "don't say that daddy! That not nice!" Everything she disapproves of is "not nice" to her now.

When she asks for something and you tell her no, she says, "Just two?" I still say no and she says, "OK, 1 then". She is her own little thinker and doesn't like being told what to do. Oh well, life sucks sometimes! She is bossy and we're working her helping her to understand that Mommy and Daddy are the boss, not Kat. It's coming along, slow but sure.

I had a chocolate bar the other day and she picked it up and said, "I need this!" I told her that is was Mommy's and she said, "well I'll share it with you". She's a smart one!
