Day #813 (Mon., Mar. 26, 2012) – New Toy Fireman’s Hat

2012-03-26 - Painting EverythingKatie will paint almost anything that doesn’t move these days. Take a look at the wooden vegetable in the photo to the right.

I went to the Dollar Store at lunchtime today to pick up some supplies for the new house. Since I’ll be laying tile down this weekend I needed a good sharp utility knife to shape it and I picked up some rope while I was there as well. I couldn’t really leave without picking up something for Katie so I got her a toy fireman’s hat. I had bought the exact same hat about a year ago but Katie got to jumping up and down on it and it didn’t last too long…

This afternoon our babysitter Ramona asked Katie “Do I look weird in these glasses”? Katie replied “Mmmmm….”.

Anyway, that fireman’s hat was a big hit. Katie liked putting it on the heads of my wife and I more than herself I think. When we were down in the bedroom and the hat was in the living room I asked her where her fireman’s hat was. She went through some elaborate ritual of opening up the various drawers in our chest of drawers and saying things like “I know where” and “It’s gone!”. Eventually I convinced her that it was in the living room and she went out and got it and returned with a cackle of delight…

This evening we got into the YouTube videos again. I found a Sesame Street Kids Dance video that she especially liked.

Katie decided that she would paint the bedroom window this evening…what a mess.
