Update

Kyle is addicted to all things Mario (as in Nintendo's Mario Brothers).  He walks around the house talking in an Italian accent.  He wants to wear a red shirt every day if he can, paired with blue jeans (I really have to get him some overalls - he would flip), and sometimes an orange shirt underneath.  You know, in case he gets fire power (it's a Mario thing).  He is completely addicted to video games, so I've had to come up with a simple system that both regulates his behavior concerning the Wii and limits the amount of time he can spend on it.

Katie talks.  And talks and talks and talks.  And if she doesn't have anyone to talk to, she will get her little play phone and walk around the house pretending to talk to someone (usually Aunt Jenny and Melissa).  We were watching Bambi last night and the beginning starts with nice scenes of the forest and trees with classical music in the background.  Then, Katie began.  "Where are the reindeer, Mommy?  I thought this movie was going to have some reindeer?  I don't see Bambi anywhere.  Mommy, where are the deer?  Are they all hiding?  Have they all gone away?"  And so on, and so on until we told her to please quiet down and just watch the movie.
