Roberts Family History

Katie was looking at pictures with me on my phone. I was zooming in on all our faces and asking her to say our names but she kept pushing to picture back to Dad's face and saying, "hi, dada!" She also liked hanging out with me when I was getting dressed and she would try to tickle my belly button. She has a little red mark above her right eyebrow. At first I thought it was jam but when I tried to clean it off it bled and bled. It's gotten a little bigger in the last couple of weeks but is still pretty small. Our friend's daughter also has a similar thing on her armpit and got a topical treatment for it. I'll see if I can do that for Katie. Mary asked me while we were outside watering, "Are those [flowers] kisses?" (me: do you mean tulips?) Mary: yes. She liked to tell me that she changed her mind about something, for example: she said she won't cry when it is time to turn off the TV and go brush teeth but then when we turned the TV off she did cr...

Katie can say "tickle" and "walk". She still hasn't said, "no" but she shakes her head no. Mary said some funny things this week: "Come inside!" (Me: Let's wait for Katie to come in) "You can't be serious!"; (Me: Mary, did you eat the Japanese candy?) "Yes, and Katie too! Haha, sneaky Mary."; "So long, Suckah!"; (Me: Let's go do shark pool) "Okay Mom, anything you want." She also said "bosquito" for mosquito. Mom : I worked a lot on color analysis this week. I learned how to find your true colors with the Zyla method. I did an analysis for myself, ShaLay, Mary, Katie, and Dad. Dad brought Pokémon stickers to his coworkers from Japan and they loved them. Work was frustrating this week. Monday we had Josie and Jack over. We did some yard work for the first time this season. I made spaghetti for dinner then taught violin. Tuesday I went for a run in the morning. Mary had dance class a...

Katie: I handed Katie a flashlight and she said, "here-ya-go!" She can also say "stop" and "what is it?" Mary said this week, "I told ya! Hedgehogs don’t bite!" I was singing and she said, "Mom, be quiet." She keeps me humble. Mom went to the tri-ward RS activity where we did a gift exchange and got Sommer Powelson's gift. It was fish and chips: a bag of potato chips and a live beta fish! ShaLay Gochenour switched with me, so I took home some pot holders. Dad was in Japan this week. He went to Tokyo for the first time and saw the Imperial Palace. He walked 10 miles one day and got a really gnarly blister. He got to look around Shibuya as well. He said the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. Monday morning we had Josie and Jack over. After they left we went to Grimes Point for a couple of hours, playing in the rocks and sand. We grabbed some lunch and went home. We watched a movie while Katie napped and I fell asleep as well! I taught...
