Just words.

Kate is about to turn 2. This last year has really gone too fast. She is really starting to test boundaries. When Kate gets mad or frustrated she screams, the make your ears bleed kind of high pitch scream. So we have started the time out chair. I think the concept comes from supper nanny. I haven't really watched it.

She totally understands that it is a consequence for screaming. So she gives us at least three more screams every time she gets to sit on it. The other day in the car she screamed for 30 minutes straight. She was horse and I had a head ache.

She will always give me a kiss after and say sorry in her own way. That kills me. This discipline thing is tough.

We have been going to the pool. As I have mentioned she just loves water. I put the water wings on her yesterday and she figured it out right away. floating on her back and drifting in the lazy river. She still tries to drink it though; another boundary push. I must pick my battles.

We are off the weekend to Troy's side family reunion. It will be interesting to see how it turns out. All 24 of us in a house in the mountains. We were headed to Lake Powell after but I got a really bad feeling about it last Sunday night. So we won't be going there. My bad feeling is gone now. So it must be the right thing to do.

2 days ago I sat Kat on a small bicycle and showed her how to pedal. She did it all by herself. So I think that she will get a bike for her birthday.

I will put pictures up after the vacation. My laptop died a few weeks ago so I haven't been able to get to the backed up photos yet.
