The Infamous Kate Post

This list has been going on for awhile now.  I'm a little behind.  Here are some funny sayings/happenings from the past few months.

One day while she was in the bathtub, she tells me, "I know the long word for boobs." I thought, "oh great, who has she been hanging out with??". Reluctantly, I said, "Oh yeah, what's that?" She said, "Boooooooooooooooobs". haha!

We were driving to a birthday party and the road we needed to take was closed. I hear her from the backseat say, "Guess we need to take a detour."

We passed a small fender bender one day and she said, "It's so sad when people have wrecks because their car was so expensive and now they have to spend money on a new car." Wise girl.

She asks to pray a lot while we are driving. I told her I can't close my eyes because I'm driving and she asked, "Does your wish still come true if you pray with your eyes open?"

We were watching a show on t.v. with lots of dancers. She was watching some of their moves and said, "That seems painful."

She was holding my friend Megan's little girl, Taylor, on her lap one day and said, "Taylor, I've never seen you this relaxed before!"

We passed an ambulance (no lights on) while driving and she said, "I see ambulances often on the road without their lights on." Often is one of her favorite words, and somehow she manages to use it the right way. She made me a bracelet out of pipe cleaners the other day and said, "Do you think you'll wear it often?"

She also says, "at least" a lot. "Can you at least....??"

She LOVES snuggling! She told me, "When I snuggle with you, my whole life is better."

She was telling me about a song on one of her little shows and she said, "I can sing the whole song in Spanish." I was thinking, "Wow, that's awesome" until she sang, "Oooooh lackalala, lackalala, leeekeee loooo loooo." haha! Nice try, girl.

She is always saying these funny little phrases. It's her tone and the way she says things that makes it funny. We got to Mimi and Papa's one day to swim and she yells, "I just want to kick off my shoes and swim!"

One day she said, "I miss Daddy when he goes to work, but somebody's gotta get the job done and get the bills paid." haha!

She was in the bathroom with me while I was getting ready. She saw the warning label on my CHI straightener. It has a picture of an eye and it's crossed off or something (ok, keep the CHI away from your eyes, we get it). Kate: I know what that little sign says on your CHI.

Me: You do?

Kate: Yep. (said very seriously) DO NOT CHI your eyelashes!

Me: lots of laughter!

She is not a fan of being hot. She HATES when her clothes stick to her. Getting in the car this summer is no fun. She's usually complaining within seconds. On one occasion, I guess she really wanted to get her point across because she said, "My armpits are like dripping sweat." Point taken, Sis.

She can be OVER THE TOP dramatic! We were shopping one day and she saw some purses she liked. She asked if she could get one and I hesitated because she only has a million purses. Before I could say anything, she huffs and puffs and stomped her foot saying, "Fine! I just won't buy ANYTHING!" I can only imagine what the teenage years will be like with her.

I swear EVERY time we are in the car, she says, "I need to go potty." One evening, we were driving home from St. Louis (about a 40 minute drive) and we only had like 15 minutes left. All of a sudden, it hits her and she's saying, "Stop at a gas station. I need to go potty!" Mark was trying to convince her to just wait til home. He's like, "We are almost home. We are two exits away." She's insisting on stopping at a gas station. So, I'm mean and I say, "We are almost home. All the gas stations are closed anyway." She says, "Mommy, I know you are faking. That's your lie face. Daddy, is that her lie face?" I didn't know I had a "lie" face.

She came home with a ventriloquist doll from Nanny's house a couple weeks ago. The thing freaks me out, but Kate treats it like a baby (although she doesn't like it in her room at night and I don't blame her!). For a few days, he went everywhere with us. She insisted that he liked to ride on the center console next to me. Awesome.

She is OBSESSED with music! Singing, dancing, making anything she can into a microphone. In the car one day, she didn't like what was on the radio and asked me to change the station. She says, "I should have just brought my Justin Bieber toothbrush. I could've jammed out to that."

She's going to take gymnastics again this year, but we tossed around the idea of her doing this very low key ballet, tap, and poms class at a local church. She wasn't really into it because you have to wear tights (the reason we are in gymnastics now... no tights). So on the way to the open house, I say, "Sometimes you just have to wear things you don't like. That's kinda the way life goes." Without missing a beat, she says, "Well, that's not how my life goes."

Every day, Kate makes me crazy, makes me roll my eyes, make me laugh, makes me want to squeeze her and never let go, and makes my heart burst with joy that she's mine. She's growing up too fast.
