Yesterday Katie was being pretty nervy. What I mean by this is that a few of her actions had me retelling them to Rick with the comment of "and she had the audacity to...." First example: I put her down for a nap, which she refused to take and which always means trouble. I was in her room changing her diaper two times before she had a chance to finger paint and once again vacuuming up goose down. You think I would have learned a lesson the first time, but no. Sometimes I am foolishly optimistic. Clearly frustrated with the the second coming of goose down snow, Katie smiled at me and proclaimed, "Done nap!" The audacity to point out that she did not need to nap because she had no pillow on which to put her impish little head. Second example: For lunch I made grilled cheese and ham sandwiches. I used a heart shaped cookie cutter on Katie's bread. She took one bite and decided it was a potato chip and pickle day. I put the sandwich aside and she started eating it after her nap. Shortly there after, she came to me whimpering "Sammy gone" which means the sandwich was gone. Knowing her as I do, I asked her if she gave it to Eric, which she replied that she did. The audacity to whine about it. Did she think Eric wasn't going to eat it if she placed it before him?
So it was an audacity day, but it was also a sweet day. Katie LOVES to watch our Kodak digital picture frame. Not only are there photos on it, but there is also video from Christmas morning 2007 when Rick's parents were here. I usually keep the frame on the corner wine rack cabinet, but she has to stand on a chair to see it. Not wanting her to fall on her head, I will move it to the dining room table so she can watch it over and over and over again. Here she is pointing out herself in a picture. I prefer not to use a flash if enough natural light is available. The flash tends to whiten the warmth. Katie moved her hand at the last moment, so it blurred.
Another sweet and funny moment was when Rick but his headphones on her. The headphones are noise cancelling and the ones that Rick uses while flying. Yesterday he plugged his MP3 player into them and let Katie listen to some Frank Sinatra. At first, Katie didn't know what to think of the fact that she could hear but not hear us. Obviously this was the first time that she has donned headphones. Rick and I got a good laugh over the expression on her face, the fact that she was afraid to move and how she brought her shoulders up to her ears. She eventually warmed up to earphones and relaxed her shoulders. Here she is with Rick while jamming out to Frank.
So it was a short weekend, but I managed to get a few pictures that will warm Rick's heart while he is freezing his patootie off in Ottawa.
