Things Kids Say





You always hear the cliché kids say the damnedest things, well yesterday we had two. First, while sitting on the potty Catherine and I had the following conversation.

Me: Are you finished?
Catherine: No, I still pooping.
Me: Okay, let me know when you're finished.
Time passes
Me: Done yet?
Catherine: (irritated) No, I still pooping. ( Pointing to the door) Get out. I need privacy.

Later that evening, Daddy told me that after giving her a bath she said, "Sucker please. I ate tricious food." To translate tricious = nutritious. She has been obsessed with suckers as of late, and asking for them at the most inappropriate times and skimping on meals waiting for them. We've been telling her she cannot have any treats until after she's eaten some nutritious food. To be fair, she had eaten a very large, nutritious dinner before the bath. =)

Big Girl Room


This past weekend Catherine moved into her Big Girl room upstairs. She loves her new bed, which we just realized used to be her Aunt Elisabeth's! We've posted some more pictures on our Flickr site.

In other news, one of her new favorite past times is "playing" chess. We took this short video last night. Sorry about the lighting quality: the camera is just too sensitive.
