Katie

Share it??

The octopus strikes again!  Katie still takes her naps in our bedroom
since Miriam usually does not nap during rest time. In there her crib is
next to Brian's dresser. Apparently today she rocked the crib over a
few inches to it and reached around and opened the top drawer. She then
helped herself to a pair of Daddy's dress socks. When I walked into the
room to get her after nap, she was sitting in the crib wearing one of
the socks pulled all the way up past her knee! She looked up at me and
smiled and said, "Daddy share sock!". Um, is that what we call it now?

Katie has been scared of grass since she came home. Probably the result of limited exposure to any texture that was not hard and/or smooth. I'm not sure the child even saw a blade of grass in China. Now this does come in handy to keep her contained when we're outside in the yard. I could "strand" her on a blanket or the deck. Well, all that ended on Saturday. I left her on the deck while I went to hang out the diapers on the clothesline. She crawled right down the steps and took off. I followed her around the apple tree and discovered what had motivated her.... she climbed right into the baby pool, clothes and all! ... and gave me a big ol' grin. Now she is running all over the yard after her siblings! Funny how that works!
