The photo to the left shows Katie’s new scissors. She loves purple and the fact that they have a “blunt” end is an extra measure of safety.
Alexa took Katie to the Natural History Museum in Durham. I guess that Katie got sick in the car and it kind of grossed Alexa out…
This evening both my wife and I were tired. Katie of course was not. We decided that I would go to bed for a nap and that my wife would wake me up when she needed a break. Around 8:30pm Katie appeared at the side of my bed so my napping was effectively over. My wife then went to bed while I tended to Katie.
Katie decided that we would have a “pretend sleepover” at the bed. She crawled into bed with me and we pretended to hide from various monsters. She then went and got us some pretend food. After pretend munching on that for a while I mentioned the green fish that I was munching on last night. She remembered exactly what I was talking about and ran to the couch to get the little green pillow (green fish) and the little flat pillow (flat fish). We pretended to munch on those for a while.
Soon Katie decided she was hungry and ran to her mom to get some “real food”. My wife, who had not made it to bed just yet, brought us a tray of cheese, raspberries, carrots, and crackers. Katie started to eat these goodies…which is good. Anytime you can get Katie to eat something you take advantage of it.
