Kate loves to run around with next to nothing on. I'm also convinced she's got a sixth sense to know when the front door is open and makes a break for it. One morning there was an escape and she was only wearing pants- no shirt, no shoes. She was happy to play in the front.
Until she saw her friends. She the tried to squeeze her way out of the gate and when she realized that was impossible she stood at the gate and cried.
So we ran inside, grabbed her shoes and freed her. Then this happened...
This melts my heart. This neighbor LOVES Kate. No matter where he is, when he spots Kate he runs to her to tell her hi, to hug her, or brush her cheek with his hand. He and his brothers will often pump Kate around on their scooters.
The days here can be really hot. So we've started playing in the water hose. Kate enjoys watering (drowning) our basil plant and two other potted plants. The sun was so intense, she was only out for about 15 minutes right before lunch and came in with pink arms! Note to this momma- put sunscreen on Kate!
Another day the power had gone out. It was a super hot day and the power had been off for hours. Nap time is next to impossible on these kinds of days, so we brought out Kate's bathtub and filled it up with cold water from the hose. Wearing a swimsuit and water shoes, she passed the day by playing outside on the front porch. After a little while, this same friend came outside on their porch. I said he could come over if it was okay with his momma.
Scooters, a water hose, bathtubs, and friends- what more could a girl ask for?
