Kate is Amazing

Every mom thinks that. I know. Still, she's amazing.

We went out to dinner Saturday night, just the three of us. Sam was with friends (argh- he's so big!). Stuart ordered this dessert with donut holes and two dipping sauces. I tried one and dipped it in each sauce to see which I preferred. When we gave one to Kate, she wanted to dip too-- first in one, then the other. It was really gooey, so instead of just bringing the donut to her mouth and making a huge mess like most kids would do, she actually wiped off the long strand of sauce on the rim of the glass and then brought it to her mouth. I was so impressed. What two-year-old does that? I'm sure she was mimicking something one of us had done, but still. That's pretty amazing.

That same night, as we were getting ready to leave, she stopped us on the way out the door for "one more suck" on her blanket. She grabbed the purple blanket, sucked her thumb for a minute, and then said, "Okay, ready."

That Kate.
