ICE ICE!

At some point, I shared some crushed ice with KK when we were playing the backyard. (I usually take a big glass of iced tea with me.) This has progressed to giving her a huge bowl of crushed ice all to herself. As you can see, I really do mean huge. (To the worry warts out there... I make sure it is all small. And most of it ends up on the ground. She doesn't sit there and chomp a bowl of ice that big!)

Now, Katelynn will stand at the back door and say "ICE ICE!" which sounds exactly like the same word she uses for "OUTSIDE!"

The Lawn Mower

Katelynn loves to watch her daddy mow the lawn. She stands at the back door with her little face pressed up against the glass, staring and sometimes squealing in delight. Her watching stamina is actually quite amazing, especially when you consider this kid will still only watch Sesame Street for about 5 minutes at most. She will even run back and forth between the back door and the kitchen window so she can get the best view. And mom can actually get something done for the 20 minutes it takes dad to mow the backyard!
