Kate the Great

She really amazes me everday. Her mannerisms, her intelligence, her sweetness, and silliness. She has always been easy. Maybe it is because she is my second and nothing phases me. Not even her calling me shit mommy when she is mad. From her sweet singing voice, to the way she carries her precious little body down the aisles at a store or across a field at a park....we are all smitten with her. I had to write down these recent cute things she said:

After putting her to sleep a few nights ago she called me back into her room:
Kate: Mommy, there is something in my eyeball. (maybe it isn't funny but it was so incredibly cute to see her sleepy face and watch her delicate little three year old fingers point to her eyebrow...

Tonight after our 4th game of memory....she walks up to me and says so honestly...
Kate: Mommy, I am a little bit skinnier than you are.....
Me: Yes that is true, I am older and pregnant...go easy on me Kate

During our memory game I kept reminding her to pay attention to the cards Charlie and I turned over. I said in an annoyed voice:
Me: Kate you won't ever get any matches if you don't pay attention
Kate's next turn she turns over two random cards and bam it is a match
Kate: See mommy anutter mash
Me: How did you do that?
Kate: I just lifted my eyes and turned over a mash

Earlier today:
Kate: Mommy you have a "gina" (as in vagina)
(I start thinking...where is this going_
Kate: Mommy I have a gina.....that makes a mash (match)
Kate, perhaps we are playing too much memory


At dinner tonight Charlie says:
Charlie: some people are fat and some people are skinny.
Me: Yes Charlie everyone has different bodies just like people have different hair and eyes.
Charlie: Am I skinny?
Me: You are muscular.
Kate: I skinny?
Me: You are perfect Kate
Charlie: Daddy is skinny right mommy?
Me: Yeh, Daddy is skinny.
Kate....gets a little defensive....: but daddy is perfect too! right mommy?

Earlier today:
Charlie: Mommy I want to marry Basel (his friend)
Kate: No you have to marry a girl Charlie
Charlie: No, I don't have to marry a girl right mommy.
Me: No Charlie you can marry a boy or a girl.
Kate: gets a huge grin on her face....Oh! Well then I going to marry you mommy.
Me: Well, Kate you need to be in love with someone romantically to marry them...
Kate: I is in love with you...romantically. I is.
Me: (smiling) oh....welll I'm already married to daddy.
Kate: Then I marry Charlie
Charlie: silly Kate we are already married, we are a family
