The other day I got it in my head we were going to go for a walk. It was sunny and looked so nice, little did I know it was in the 20's outside. But you can't tell a 2 year old no after you say we are going to go see the horses at the park. So we got Kate's baby and baby stroller and headed to the park. I of course ended up carrying both Kate, baby and the baby stroller. We made it to the horse. The horse gave us a side glance and continued chewing on the hay. Kate said "horsey come over here" ...and it did the horse walked right over to Kate and put its head down to her level. It was a little strange, but I swear that horse heard her and obeyed. This isn't the first time either.
My grandfather raised horses. My mom said he was a lot like the man in the movie the Horse Whisperer. Kate's birth mom loves horses too. I hope to give Kate the opportunity to ride horses if she wants to. It seams like she may be a little horse whisperer herself.
Sunday night we turned on the TV and started watching ice skating. Troy asked Kate if she wanted to be an ice skater. (there was this little 10 year old boy who was amazing) Kate immediately jumps up and starts skating around the kitchen, pushing with her feet like the skaters on TV, then the girl on TV pulls her foot up over her head. Kate stops, stick out her bum, grabs her foot and tries to pull it up over her head. I was laughing so hard. She is such a little character sometimes, no, all the time.
She is constantly talking now. She even makes up stories. Basically it is lying but in a healthy way. It is normal childhood development Troy says. He read all about it once. She is using her imagination. Like yesterday at lunch she is telling me about her brother and sister which don't exist.
We love the Walt Disney Princesses. We listen to Pandora.com radio and have a station just for all the Disney music. She can tell me the movie as soon as she hears the song. We dance and sing every day.
Well no pictures this blog but I will try to get some on soon. We got a little video of the skating. I hope it turned out.
