Curls

Any time that Katie has worn braids, she loves to see her braids taken out because her hair becomes curly. One day when she wanted to wear her princess costume, I asked her if she wanted curls in her hair. She wasn't sure what to think when I pulled out the curling iron, but she loved the results.

Look at my hair! 

I have curls all over. 

I think it's beautiful!

Finding a Rainbow

Katie and Jennifer were playing in the house one day, when they looked out the window and found a rainbow. It didn't take long to make their way outside to observe and enjoy!

Aunt Jennifer found a rainbow! 

Just as I thought I couldn't get happier, she showed me that it had turned into a double rainbow! 

It was so pretty!

A Game

One night after dinner, Katie grabbed her hula hoop, which is now a "hoopy hoop." (The name is a big step up from what it used to be, a "poopy poop.") While she had the hula hoop at the table, she made up a game. She held it up to her and said, "I'm a moon!" Then she would pass it around the table. We all had to hold it up and think of things that we could be that were circle. The thing that amazed me was that it was so easy for Katie to name so many things that were round. Me, on the other hand? I felt good for coming up with a blueberry and an orange!

I'm a money! (coin)

A Crown

With Katie's love of princesses, it's no surprise that she also likes crowns. One night she was enjoying her broccoli for dinner when all of a sudden, she realized it would make the perfect crown.

Look! I have a finger crown! 

I really liked my thumb crown.

Bubbles

When Garyldine took Katie to her friends' house on Easter, one of her favorite presents she received was bubbles. She never tires of them.

Look! I caught one!

Return of the Earmuffs

With some of our nicer weather again, the earmuffs have reappeared. Katie honestly wears her earmuffs for warm weather a lot more than she did in cold weather. It never fails that we run into neighbors or friends when Katie has her earmuffs on display.

I'm all ready for my warm-day walk.

My ears were cold before I left. 

I decided it would be fun to pose for a picture. 

I can see you through this loop! 

By the time I got home, my ears were warm, so I made myself a belt.

Minnie Mouse Glasses

Katie was playing with her Minnie Mouse book that her friends gave her for Christmas, and she decided to have fun with the glasses that were part of the book.

I thought I looked so good in the glasses that... 

…I shared them with Chloe too! She loved them!
