Today, K ran her first ever race. So, after some limbering up, and some yoga, pre-race, K went for a run. It was supposed to only be 50 yards. But, when we go there, the powers-that-be decided to only have a quarter-mile, and a mile race (there was a half-mile discussed, but never run). K did great. Both Daddy and Nana also had races of their own. Everyone did their best, and everyone got medals. Most importantly, K had a blast!
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...
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.
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.
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.
