Katie has caught on to Mary's love of Pokémon and loves to say, "Jessie!" and "Jiggly Puff!" Mary : I asked her, "Do you want to cuddle with me since you feel sick?" She said, "Not a chance!" Katie bumped into Mary while they were playing and Mary said, "Watch it, kid." Mary was feeling sick and wanted to watch Pokémon but I told her we were done with TV until Dad got home. She said, "Is dad still on the earth?" We made rice crispy treats on Sunday and Mary kept calling them, "rice Christmas trees" Mom : I worked on color a lot this week. I did color analysis reports for Emma (James' wife), Grandpa Steve, and Nana. I also developed my logo and started working on my work desk with ShaLay. She used her new sander to get the old paint off. The grass was getting crazy, so I mowed that as well. I have not had a great week of exercising because I have had a hard time breathing and with fatigue. I went into urgent c...

Katie sometimes gets frustrated, when she does she stomps her foot. Things she said this week: "I try?", "please, thank you", " I funny". She liked to say "I try?" When I was doing chores like sweeping, laundry, watering plants, and putting dishes away. Mary let me know when she thought things were gross this week. She said, "gross" or "ew" a lot this week, it was pretty funny. Mom : I am having fun with my color projects and learning more about analysis. I got another course on udemy that I started this week. Dad is still frustrated at work but is getting closer to a new balance after everything shifted with the layoffs. Monday we watched Josie and Jack. Katie was so excited when they walked in the door that she jumped up and down (she can't quite jump yet, so it's more like excited stomping). I taught violin that night. Tuesday I took both Mary and Katie to tumbling and I taught violin while they were in dance. It wa...

Katie is so cute. She will say, "cheese!" when I take her picture. She'll also say, "Can I try?" "I did it!" "Where are you?" "I found it!" "[can] I see it?' We'll ask her how her day was and she'll say, "good." On Thursday, after the exercise class, she walked over to Lindsay Durocher and just climbed into her lap and hugged her. She cuddled with her for about 5 minutes. Mary loves Pokémon. She'll say the team rocket mantra all day, she loves to pretend to be Jessie. I asked her to close the door to outside and she said, "but I need the air!" Mom : I was getting ready for my date with Dad and tried to curl my bangs using a cheap round brush but as soon as I wrapped my hair around the brush, it was super stuck. Dad came in and cut the bristles off the brush, coated my tangled hair in conditioner, and used a wood skewer to get my hair off. Luckily minimal hair was lost and I didn't even ne...
