Katherine has started school again. I wonder if that has anything to do with her new vocabulary. Last night we're picking up toys so that we can watch a movie and she tells me, "Daddy? Here's what I propose. We pick up the toys, then we put on our pjs, then we can watch the movie."
Here's what I propose?? Later that night when deciding whether to finish watching a movie we'd started the other night (The Last Unicorn, which claims to be rated G but was way too scary and violent) or a new one from Tivo (The Aristocats) she tells me, "I don't want to dilly dally and be all over the place. I think we should finish watching the movie we're in the middle of before we start a new one." Okey dokey then. Even Elizabeth is getting better with the sentences, coming out with stuff like "Byebye school, see you next week."Speaking of Elizabeth, I'm not sure if this was coincidence or a glimpse at a very sneaky child, but last night while picking up the kitchen, the kids were picking up the toys and Elizabeth was not helping. I could hear Katherine telling her to help and Elizabeth getting more and more upset as she said no. Finally she comes into the kitchen where I am and says, "Daddy put me timeout." "No," I said, "Because you just want to get out of cleaning up the toys. Get back in there, sneaky."
