Random Things

Ok...I have been too busy lately and have not had time to update this as much as possible. I will try to be better at posting, even if it is a 1-liner or something.

Things that have been going on during the past few weeks...

We took the bed rail off of Katie's bed because we think she is finally able to sleep in her bed without falling out. It has been just over 3 weeks and she has not fallen off yet - phew! She woke up in the middle of the night and her feet were hanging over the side, but she hadn't fallen off yet. Woo hoo!

The day after I chopped all my hair off, Katie thought it would be fun to attempt her own haircut. So, she found some scissors upstairs while she was supposed to be taking a nap and snipped it off! We ran to the mall for an emergency haircut and it is super cute. I will post some pics soon!

I was upstairs nursing Kasey early Thursday afternoon and I started to smell gasoline...I started walking down the stairs and noticed that the back door was open. Not good. The smell was getting stronger and stronger. Katie was outside pouring gasoline out of the gas can for the lawn mower - nice!!!!!!!!!! So, I got her inside and bathed her real quick, called Brian to come assess the situation and we all left the house for a while to let the smell wear off. Well, it was still bad when we got back home so I had the Pine Sol out went to town scrubbing down any surface Katie may have touched. I sprayed off the patio out back in the areas that Katie said she poured the gas and got the smell under control. Man, I guess we need to keep her on a leash!! We are definitely not scoring any "Parents of the Year" points this year...

Katie has been using terrible table manners at day care - doesn't use a fork and puts her feet on the table. Oh, and of course the whole yelling when she is told to do something she doesn't want to do. It's lovely. So we have been working with her on those items pretty heavily the past few days and she is starting to oblige. Phew! I think part of the problem is the size of the toddler size forks - they are either too big, too small, or just plain shaped weird and won't stab the food. If you know of a good place to buy toddler size forks, please let me know!

Have a great weekend!!!!
