Our Mastermind

Somehow Katie knew what to do with this clown nose. I was working on the computer with Hyrum on laying on the bed and Katie puttering around doing her own thing. Somehow she got my attention and I saw Hyrum with the nose very properly placed on his nose. I have no idea how she figured out where to put it and how to get it to stick. He didn't seem to mind it either. I had to get a picture of it later and I thought you would love them.

Katie's language skills have made a real jump in the last 2 weeks. She will mimick words that people say and does a pretty good job too. Some of her new words are:

ah-wah=Hyrum

lee-shah=Alicia

An-nee=Anne

Mama=Gma

dow=down

mah=more

baby=dolls and all stuffed animals

She also loved to mimick whatever anyone else is doing, especailly her sisters. I think Alicia is her favorite sister this week. She loves to say her name and gets so excited when she sees pictures of her. She will point and say Alicia's name. On Sunday during the intermediate hymn she was dancing in the aisle. One day she was sitting at the table. She got a small book, held it in one and led some music with her other hand and sang. I love seeing all the cute things she does.

She also has such a mischevieous mind too. She throws things when she is mad and also when I try to take them away from her. She even stomps her foot sometimes when she is mad. The other day she had something she knew she shouldn't have. She hid it behind the door of her room and threw things onto it to hide it. What 2 year old thinks of those things? We have quite a girl on our hands.
