One of the results of having an active toddler is lots of "boo-boos". The other day Katherine fell down on our neighbor's sidewalk and she scraped her knees. Really we have been quite fortunate and this is only the second time I can think of that an injury has drawn blood. Scrapes are the worst. They hurt so much worse than they look.
So, what does a mommy do for scraped knees. Well, of course you kiss it to make it better. Then you clean the scrape and put medicine on it. Finish it off with Hello Kitty band-aids and the are all set to get better. Katherine now knows the routine and whenever there is a bump she asks "mommy kiss it, all better now." She loves her band-aids too.
Our morning routine (when the morning goes as planned) is that when Katherine wakes up I go and take her to the potty then she comes to our bed to cuddle. Then daddy gets up and showers. When he is done he takes Katherine to the kitchen to eat while mommy has time to shower. It works well when we get up with the alarm and go along with the plan. Katherine loves her time with daddy in the morning eating breakfast at the "little table".
The other day I won some natural cleaners from a blog contest (my second thing to win). When they arrived they were covered in bubble wrap. I decided to show Katherine the joy of stepping on and popping the bubbles. The poor thing is just so light that she needed my help to pop them. 
When we were in Norway our friends who stayed in our house taught our dog a few (good) things. One was to go to the carpet during meals so that she would not be begging for food. Katherine ate earlier than us the other night so she kept going to the carpet as well. If Hooligan got up, she would scold her and try to get her back to the carpet. She loves her puppy dog.
A few weeks ago I went on a scrapbooking retreat and Sam took Katherine to visit his parents. The only picture he got from the weekend was Katherine, eating a cooking and dipping it in pie with Grandad. I guess that was the highlight of the trip but what could be better than cookies and pie with Grandad?
