Kate and Mommy Time

I wonder if the thought has ever crossed Kate's 11 month old mind, "I wonder what it would be like to have Mommy all to myself?" Well, this weekend Kate got the opportunity to be an only child. Rachel and Luke spent Friday and Saturday night with Grandnanna and Grandpa in Snyder, so they could watch the fly in at the Snyder airport. Chris worked Saturday and got home around noon on Sunday. Kate and I spent a quiet weekend at home. We went shopping for something for her to wear for her birthday, but we came up empty handed. We also went to visit a friend who had a new baby. We went shopping for some new toys for Kate in our storage building. We found a rocking horse and an Elmo fun table that sings all kinds of neat songs. She just loves her recycled toys.

Kate also got to watch something on TV that did not star Scooby Doo. I don't know if she even knew our TV showed other things besides Scooby Doo and Shaggy. She was very interested in her Baby Einstein show.

We met Grandnanna and Grandpa in Big Springs to pick up the big kids on Sunday. We had not driven a block before Kate with her lightning fast reflexes grabbed Luke's toy. It took Luke and Rachel to pry it from her clinched fists with her screaming in protest at her highest octave. It has taken her almost a year to join in the bickering in the back seat of our car. All I can say is she learned it from the best!
