What a Great Day!

Even though my head hurt again today, it didn't matter because I got to hold Courtney and Mel's newborns Jack and Avery as much as I wanted! It doesn't get much better than that, does it?



Here are a couple of pictures of Katie this morning before she left for school. Wednesday is dance class day, so she always insists on wearing a dress, and this particular dress is the most twirly one she has. Therefore, it is her favorite for dance class.

So, now it's the end of the day. A little while ago she was in the bathtub and I always tell her that splashing is off limits if the shower curtain is open. But, if I close the shower curtain, she can splash all she wants. Well, she loves that and goes absolutely CRAZY bonkers. She splashes, sings and yells at the top of her lungs, having a wonderful time. So, why is it that I have this overwhelming urge to run in there and demand she stop splashing? I admit I peek in there to make sure water isn't getting out onto the floor, and I do remind her periodically to stay on her bottom. No standing and jumping, etc. But, I really have a hard time being within earshot of the splashing! I guess I'm just conditioned to expect a huge, wet mess when I hear that kind of noise coming from a bathtub and I can't shake it even though I know I've closed the curtains and have given her permission.

Well, you'll be happy to know there was no water mess. It was a successful splashing session. After her bath, I helped her into her jammies and she wandered over to her nightstand. She opened the drawer where we keep all of her costume jewelry. She took out several necklaces, bracelets and rings and put them all on at the same time. Then she stopped and thought for a second before saying to me, "Oh no, this is too much. Too much jewelry will make me sick." I wondered why she would say that and realized she probably came to this conclusion because of the other recent discussions we've had about how too much of something, like candy for instance, will make you sick. Well, (sorry Gina), I chuckled and assured her that too much jewelry can't possibly make you sick and that a girl can NEVER have too much jewelry! (cha-ching) That's the (very important) exception to the rule, I say.
