Open Sesame Street

Reilly felt that this would open the roof of my Mom's mini-van, he thought it was a convertible.

#2

Kate is so different from Reilly and I attribute a lot of that to being #2 vs #1. He is conservative and cautious and so thoughtful. His perception is amazing and at almost 4 he is so aware of other peoples feelings. She is crazy with not a care in the world. If she wants something, she takes it, if she wants to do something she does it and she walks circles around the house just checking things out.

The things that inspire her to have an outburst are: food and well.... food. In that way, she is like her Dad. :-)

Where's Kate?

Ahhh, that would be hiding under the bathroom sink in the cabinet playing with the bath toys.

Oops

Mom, I just fluffed out my mouth.

Lesson of the Day

Do not drive wind-up cars, specifically monster trucks, in Kate's hair.

Thanks Greg.

Farley

I have given Kate a new nickname... Farley - as in Chris. When she dances to music now she raises her shoulders up to her ears, which gives her a couple new chins, and she puts her hands on the area that would have a belt buckle. Once she's in position she rocks to the music in a circular way as I saw Chris do a number of times on SNL - when he was a motivational speaker and lived in a van down by the river.

Bad Words

Reilly: "Mom, is whattheheck a bad word?"
Me: "No, it's okay to say here and there."
Reilly: "Shit is a bad word though."
Me: "Yes, Reilly, shit is a bad word."

Foothill College

As we passed Foothill College today Shad told Reilly, Kate and I he took a couple classes there. Reilly inquired "Did your Dad drive you to your classes Dad?"

Cake?

Reilly and I were talking this morning and I told him that yesterday, while I was playing soccer, a bug flew in my ear. He said "Really, to have some cake?" I replied "Cake? I don't understand." He said "yah, Mom, potato cake".

Ick.
