Funny Kate Stories....

Kate Olivia
 2 1/2 years old


We  just celebrated Kate's 3rd Birthday, so I thought I would do a post in honor of her.  She is my little mischievous girl and always has been!  I love her to pieces,  but she is a mess!  She has done things my other two never thought about doing.  She is my funny girl who always keeps me laughing and makes me glad she is my last. :)  Maybe she isn't more mischievous than my first two.....maybe I'm just too busy to catch her before she gets into something.  Here are some examples of my sweet, funny girl in action...

 Putting cereal on her head when she was One.

 Marking all over herself with a red marker.

Yes, that is what you think it is....

Putting on eye makeup

Painting her toenails

Taking a bath in the sink

Falling asleep on the bar

She has her own sense of style and wants to dress herself without any help.

Gave herself a haircut with super short bangs on the morning of her 3rd Birthday. 

Can't wait to see what the future holds!  :)  I love you, Kate Olivia!

Swing me, Mommy!!

This is a story about my sweet little Kate.  One day, last week, when the weather was just perfect, we were outside so she could play on the swing set.  I pushed her for a few minutes and then needed to run in the house for a second to grab something (I don't even remember what it was now).  As soon as I got inside, I heard Kate crying.  I ran back outside to check on her and she had fallen out of the swing!  She was laying on the ground crying so I ran to her, picked her up, gave her some love & started pushing her on the swing again, by her request.  Fast forward a few minutes.  I tried once again to go back into the house to get whatever it was that I needed.  The poor baby fell out of her swing again!  By this time I was feeling like a pretty bad mom since I was not watching her very good and she had fallen twice within 15 minutes.  I was also thinking that she must be a pretty clumsy child.

As I was pushing her again, I started wondering if she was really falling or just tricking me to get me to go back outside.  My Kate, be that deceitful?  No way!  Well, I thought I would test my theory.  I went back in the house and ran to look out the window to see what she did.  I WISH I had been videoing her!   As soon as I got inside, she ever-so-slowly lowered herself ever-so-carefully to the ground and then started her little fake (but real sounding) cry!!!  It really was funny to me and I had to call my Sis to share it with her, because she loves a good laugh in the middle of the day.  This is a picture of Kate after my discovery that she is a great actress!
