Funny week

Spending my days with Katherine is so much fun and so funny. I laugh all the time.

Katherine has been spending a lot of time with Ben. I think that Madi and I have them married off. He is probably her best friend and she gets so excited when I tell her we are going to see Ben. The other day she was not excited about going to the church nursery until she saw Ben there and she ran right in. They came over the other day and Katherine was not excited about sharing her bouncing worm with Ben. They have gotten a lot better about sharing since they play together so much and know that the other kid is not going to take toys. Well, Ben got on the worm first and Katherine decided to get on with him. They were actually both quite happy with this arrangement for a short while. It was long enough for me to go to the other room to grab the camera. Aren't they cute?

The other day Katherine had both "yogurt milk" (Kefir and milk) and "juice" (very diluted apple juice) for breakfast. You can see she is not quite sure what to do with two cups.


Ahhhhh, you can see that she has figured out a solution to her dilemma. Drink out of two straws! What a genius. I was amazed that she was somehow able to actually drink both drinks. After lunch Katherine was playing with her daddy. She had brought over some of the pieces from her leggo set which includes some eyes. She thought that Daddy should wear they eyes.

Ouch Katherine, that hurts. Finally they were both in and she thought it was pretty funny.

Sam and I both used to play the guitar. I actually took lessons for about 6 years. My playing slacked off when I got married and has been pretty non-existent since I had Katherine. I actually get quite depressed each time I pick up my guitar because I cannot remember most of the chords let alone the songs I used to know. Well, one of Sam's New Years resolutions is to play guitar more. Sunday I decided to join in as well. Katherine enjoys the music but she does not help with the practice session. She kept trying to take the picks out of our hands while strumming, then she would try to strum and touch the strings. Finally she only wanted to be in mommy's lap. As you can imagine (and see) it is not easy to play the guitar with a curious, squirmy toddler in your lap.


We did better later in the week at the piano. She really enjoyed when mommy played songs she knew from the "Wee Sings" book. She does better playing the piano than playing the guitar as well. Hopefully when she gets older she will be interested in playing.
