Cute Katie!

Katie's dresses hang on a high upper bar in the closet.  I have to reach above my head to lift the hangar off the bar.  When she chooses a dress in the morning, she normally has to ask for help from Jeff or me to get the dress.  A few weeks ago, I noticed she was appearing with dresses on and hadn't asked for help.  I didn't think much of it, assuming that she was now tall enough to reach the bottom of the dresses and sort of pull them down off the hangars.  Imagine my surprise when I walked into the room one day to see this:

The first thing I did was check if she had her indoor heels on, and wondered if she had ever clambered up there with them on.

Jeff told me a cute story this week.  Katie was being impatient about something, and Jeff told her she needed to wait two minutes.  So she immediately starting counting seconds:
"OneTwoThree, FourFiveSix, SevenEight-"
"No, Katie, you're counting way to fast.  Like this.  One Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi."
"Okay, Dad.  But I like boys better, so I'm going to count Mr. Sippi!"
