Brother Love

Kat LOVES her little brother. And she's quite a smart little thing! I came across this video just recently and felt like it should be shared. This was done in December of '07 so she is barely 3 and he is barely 3 months.

yesterday we were driving to the store and people were driving like they've never driven before. So instead of saying what I was really thinking, I nicely said, "Hmm, these people don't know how to drive very well". Katie said, "why Mommy?" I said, "Well, I guess they aren't really paying attention that well". She said, "yeah, well, maybe they just don't know how to multitask or something"

I LOVE IT

so true

"I'm just a drama queen"

she said it, not me. This time

so she woke in the night and needed Mommy. I held her for a long time, until we both fell asleep. The next day when I spoke to her about it, she said she had scary dreams because "weird stuff was disappearing off her walls"

Poor thing, we had just taken down all her pictures the day before for the move. Little angel, it must have bothered her on some level that we were packing up her room.

a moment

Kat and I had a little moment together. A friend and I trade our children for babysitting purposes. Today I was at their house watching her kids and the little girl didn't want to take her nap. Me being the softy, I happily offered for her to come and snuggle with me and Kat on the couch. EBelle was a bit tearful, she was saying her leg was hurting. She was definitely playing it up, which was super cute and oh so transparent. I played a bit and said, "Oh Belle, where does it hurt? Show Mrs V..." And Kat was right in there, hugging Belle and rubbing her head and saying, "it's OK, don't worry. I'll take care of you." So Belle points to where it hurts... and the 'hurt' kept moving. She was totally playing us. I looked over her head at Kat and we both just kind of smiled. It was the first time I noticed that Kat knew when people were being dramatic. It was this really nice moment between us. Like a little secret we told each other just by looking :-) Love it.

Another quickie

Bear fell today and for a while Kat said, "That was scary, but you're OK. I know that was scary little man... MAN! That was SO scary! That was crazy, it was so scary!" She's a sweet little drama queen

Late Easter night, we're getting ready for bed and she says, "Mommy, do we have time to watch a movie?" I said, "No Baby, it's night night time." She said, "well, then can we just watch American Idol?"
