SnoPocalypse!!!

The SnoPocalypse hit on Wednesday. It took 3 hours to truly dig out after the second storm of 2011. Two in less than a week occurred, and this one dumped more than 2 feet on us. Because of that, Daddy had an extra day off. So, Thursday, K and Dad went out for some exploration and adventure. In the best sledding tradition of Daddy's youth, K did her first OUT OF BOUNDS sledding...

Mama had to work.  Poor her.

Almost 3...time to post...

K had her first "solo" swim lesson. She had to pretend to be 3. A few more weeks, and she'll be legit. This video was the first taken with the new camera. The camera work is so-so. The music, however, makes this video EPIC.

A monumental day

May or may not be actual toilet.

Today, K did her business on the potty.  She's been doing one type of business since May, but today, she brought her talents to South Beach*.  Or, as she'd tell you, she "made two big ones!"  Sorry, Aunto, you're out $100.

Another interesting thing developed, as well.  K was watching Clifford the Big Red Dog, it ended, and she was able to start it over on the DVR on her own.  She can't read the commands.  We've never shown her how to do this.

K uses the potty and the remote...THAT'S DADDY'S GIRL!!!


*In 2010, after LeBron James' debacle "The Decision" special, where he announced he would join the Miami Heat with the phrase, "I'll be bringing my talents to South Beach."  Which Bill Simmons, ESPN's SportsGuy, immediately made a euphemism for going to the bathroom, ala dropping the Cosby kids off at the pool.  If it doesn't hold up as well, at least it was in many 15-40 year old male's terminology at this moment.

Dinosaurs! (again)

Tonight, K read me When Dinosaurs Came with Everything.  The book was a birthday present, after Mama and Daddy saw it.  Definitely a great story, because K likes to hear it often, and Mama and Daddy don't mind it after 5 months.
K did an excellent job, and I was a very impressed and proud Daddy.

C is for Cookie!

Tonight, doing his best Mama impression, Daddy convinced her that she wanted to bake chocolate chip cookies, the way she used to trick her sisters into making brownies.  K helped to prepare the batter and bake.  Like her Mama, K loves to be in the kitchen.  But what she REALLY loved, was licking the beaters when everything was done.  Daddy loved it, too.

Not a bad summer night!  Pics to follow soon...
