It has been too long and my biggest fear is that I have forgotten things already. Katie and Jack grow so fast and change every day. The small stories that make us laugh, I pray that I never forget. I am just going to throw all the stories I can at the moment with no rhyme or reason:
Jack’s love of eyeballs! He told someone at the zoo that his name was eyeball a few months ago and it has made us laugh every day. This weekend he told me that he wants star decorations and an eyeball cake when he turns 4. He asks every day if he is 4 yet.
At his three year checkup he told me on the way that he was “frustrated” since he couldn’t get the straw in the juice box. Then…he decided only to answer the doctor in meows. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get the varmit to speak!
Last night, he wanted to take his container of goldfish to bed with him. I told him no. He snuck them by Daddy and sigh, it is one of those pick your battle days. He woke up in the middle of the night and asked if he could eat them. Umm….No! Son…go back to sleep. First thing this morning, he sat straight up in bed from a dead sleep and asked again if he could eat them.
Katie seems so grown up. Her first year of Kindergarten seems to have aged her. She is now taking swim lessons, loves to take care of Jack (she can get him to do anything by making him pretend he is a puppy!) and is quite helpful around the house. When Jack locked me out of my bedroom and Matthew was playing golf, she got the tiny screw driver and popped the lock within seconds! I tried for 10 minutes and was trying to call Matthew since it was Oscar Night.
Katie’s logic and reasoning blow Matthew and I away. She loves to hang with Daddy and helps him with everything. When we are sick, she goes into full blown nurse mode and takes awesome care of us. She makes a menu, prepares drinks, get a tray (always with flowers!) and waits on either Matthew or myself.
Sigh…There are so many more moments I need to remember!
