Kate was against sledding last year, when asked to go, she would always reply “when I’m bigger.” No matter how much we tried to convince her she wouldn’t go, Shad and I were a little bummed. Kate says “when I’m bigger” about so many things, riding a bike, playing soccer, clearing her plate, sledding, etc. It’s her rationale… well, wouldn’t you know we got a few inches of snow and the first thing she asked was if she could go sledding. I couldn’t believe it. Maybe she “just knows” when the time is right. Given Kate’s extremely strong personality, it’s rare I get to really dictate what she is doing. But heck, why am I telling you that, you know from the “fashion” shots throughout the blog. Okay, back to the point of this entry, watch:

4 Whole Years

April 2 Kate turned 4. If I didn’t know better I would say she turned fourteen. She is a blast and has a mind and a style all her own. She gives new definition to layering and her body temperature seems to regulate in a way that makes it suitable and tolerable to wear a sundress in the winter. I have learned over the past year and a half with her desire to dress herself that it is best to “just go with it” and heck it’s not a bad idea to contribute. Contributions and her creations most often put a smile on my face – while on the inside I’m laughing and wonder WHAT WAS she thinking.
Kate is a happy kid. She likes to sing and dance and yell and whine and play “Mom” and and “hair” baby everyone around her. She loathes cleaning and will typically talk her way out of it day in and day out. Right now the only thing that motivates her is telling her she can’t use her hair trinkets until she’s cleaned everything up… she’s a tough nut to crack that way. Reilly tends to be the trouper and absorbs some of her stubborness to help her clean – and to show her gratitude she usually snags something he’s playing with and antagonizes him to the point of screaming or hitting. (NOTE: and he ends up in trouble b/c we only catch the screaming and hitting part)
