A Heck of a Day

Yesterday was just not Katie's day. She has become a little daredevil and loves to climb on everything she can.

Incident #1: She pushed the footstool to the front of the couch, climbed up on it and then to the couch. As I was doing dishes, she crawled over the arm of the couch and fell down into the corner between the two couches. She was not hurt, just a little scared.

Incident #2: I was at the back of the house when all of a sudden I hear her scream and come running into the family room to see her on the floor by the computer desk. I don't know how she did it, but this is what she ended up with on her eye:

Incident #3: Katie woke up from her nap and I went in to get her. She stood up in her crib and as I went over to open the window blinds, she flipped over the railing of her crib (still in the "up" position) and landed flat on her back. Needless to say it really scared her, but thankfully she was alright and hadn't hurt herself. When Mike got home from work that night, he put the mattress down to the lowest position to prevent her from falling out of the crib again!

Katie knows that something is going on with her bed and she was not happy about it.

I don't remember Colin being as brave as Katie at this age. I am sure this is just the beginning of scrapes and bruises.

Another Tooth Fairy Visit?

Colin lost his second tooth this morning. It has been loose for what seems likes weeks and weeks. He was just playing with it and popped it forward out of his gum and then I just finished the job with my fingers...that's how loose it was! Mike is probably going to hate that I am posting pictures of it because even the mere mention of losing a tooth makes him weak in the knees and green in the face! But I have to post them for the grandparents!


The missing tooth on the right and his adult tooth on the left almost all the way in now .

Colin's Morning Discussion

Don't ask me where he comes up with them. We have many discussions on many random topics just like this one. I just had to document this one down, though:

Colin: "Mom, what's a casino?"

Krista: (I really had to stop and think about the best way to answer this in a way that Colin would understand it the best and this is the best I could come up with in the few seconds I had to think about it. Otherwise, he will keep asking me about it until I give him an answer)

"It's a place where people go to lose all their money"

Colin: "What about a lucky casino?"

Krista: "A lucky casino?"

Colin: "Yeah, it doesn't make you lose money."

I didn't have a response after that and he dropped the topic entirely.

Now where Colin learned about a casino or where he heard it from, I have no idea!

I LOVE CHOCOLATE!

Katie has discovered chocolate chips cookies. The pictures say it all.
