Kate the Great

The other night I went into Kate's room to check on her before I went to bed. I didn't see her in her bed, so I looked in her favorite sleeping places, i.e. behind the door, under the bed, in the closet. She wasn't in any of those places, so I started to get nervous. I was about to flip on the light when I finally noticed this:

In the dark, she just looked like a pile of clothes! I wish I could just fall asleep anywhere like that. Kate is just cracking me up more and more everyday. As I speak, she is licking her finger and adjusting her hair. I've never done that to her! Where does she learn this stuff? Here are some of her latest comments that keep me laughing:

Daddy has hairy arms. He's a good man.

Girls don't eat meat.

My bum's not working! (while trying to go potty)

I started putting big girl panties on Kate a few days ago and she is doing great! I finally discovered what works. They have to be panties with some character on them. (Elmo, the little mermaid, etc). This character says to Kate (in my voice) "Oh Kate, please don't go pee pee on me!" And suddenly, what couldn't be done with bribes of candy and toys, is done! My favorite part is that she often holds conversations with her panties, doing her voice and the character's voice. Yes, this may again lead to social problems later in life, but for now I love it :)

That's awesome!!! You have to record her talking to her panties so you can embarrass her one day.

I laughed so hard at the talking skivies! Kate is so funny. What does the underwear say to her when she talks for it?

How are you guys doing? We'd love to see all of you again.

Okay, I see a book in the making here, Suz. "Potty training using the Barbie method" or an infomercial that claims, "For just $19.99 I'll send you my booklet on how to potty train a girl in 2 easy steps." I have to think this wouldn't work as well with boys who would delight in wetting on a fictional character.

That's too funny! And a great idea too, I'll have to try that one with Brecken.

She is so cute! That is the best potty training tip I've heard, that could really work for my Hunter! Glad to see you guys doing good with your sweet little girls!

Kate is halarious!! Can never get enough of the cute things she does and says. Sleeping in the laundry basket . . .What on earth???I am chuckling just thinking about it.

What precious little dollies Kate and Faith are. We could not be prouder grandparents and feel very blessed. Oh, by the way . . .HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MIKE!!!
We love you all,
Grandma and Papa

Oh that is so, so, so funny! I'll have to try that with Tanner, but I'm not sure he wouldn't think peeing on his favorite characters wouldn't be funny. I think it would just make him laugh. That's a boy for you though :)

Kate is hillarious! My mom always told me I would fall asleep random places when I was little. My favorite was in a pillowcase and more than once they searched and searched for me.

She cracks me up. I can just picture her saying those things. I just want to know one thing. How does one learn to sleep anywhere. I would love to be able to fall asleep anywhere as well.

who knew that your panties talking to you would be encouraging instead of terrifying...
