Khronicles of Kate

This week in church Kate made me look really great by saying out loud, "I like you. mom!" Melt my heart. (I forgive you for every ounce of mascara you have ever touched!) She actually has been saying that a lot lately. If she is in trouble or sad and wants to be held she will tell me, "I like you!"

Tonight, I was giving her good night hugs and kisses and trying to teach her to give a real kiss and not just let me be the one kissing and as I was hugging and kissing her she told me "you like me." Sweet.

I maybe should not dare to mention it yet but the messes (out of make up, etc...) are getting a little further apart. She can still make short work of a room, but the getting into things she shouldn't are maybe dying down a bit. WHEW!

Last night I was rocking in the chair with her. I realized she was falling asleep so I cradled her and I could see her fighting to stay awake but her eyes were super heavy. She told me "my eyes!" like hey... something is wrong here! I can't keep them open. Nathan told me that once when he was about the same age. He told me his eyes were broken because he just couldn't keep them open any more.

Sometimes it breaks my heart that I have had so many kids with speech delays. There is just a small time when they say super funny things and then they talk well enough and are quite as hilarious. Oh well.

Enjoy this fabulous (older) picture of Kate and her beloved Josie. She loves this dog. She tells me all the time...."She's sad." "She's cute." "I love her."

Michelle Vivino said... heard her say that to you last week when we were sitting behind you~ my heart just melted! You are a loved woman :o) And Kate is such a cutiebug! My Zachary is in a seemingly constant state of kissing up to me ha ha He says "I just love you, Peaches." I have no idea where the "Peaches" came from, but I'll take it! I asked him once and he said "I like to call you Peaches because I just love you." Ahhh...isn't it the BEST? What can compare to the love of these little angels? (mascara, markers and all?) heart emoticon

Mary McDowell said...love the photo-she's a real blessing..

I know it is long but it is life altering!

C.S. Lewis- Meanwhile the cross comes before the crown and tomorrow is a Monday morning...It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you can talk to may one day be a creature which, if you say it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one or other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities that we should conduct all our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. But it is immortals who we joke with, work with, marry, snub and exploit - immortal horrors or everlasting splendours. This does not mean that we are to be perpetually solemn. We must play. But our merriment must be of the kind (and it is, in fact, the merriest kind) which exists between people who have from the outset, taken each other seriously - no flippancy, no superiority, no presumption, and our charity must be a real and costly love, with deep feeling for the sins in spite of which we love the sinner - no mere tolerance, or indulgence which parodies love as flippancy parodies merriment. Next to the Blessed Sacrament itself, your neighbor is the holiest object presented to your senses."

"Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are course; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fotune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity." Margaret D. Naduald

" Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. -Nelson Mandela-
