Kate Can Skate

Our little three year old Kate has always been our most independent child. She continually does things to amaze me. She learns most things out of necessity to keep up with her older brother and sister. She can ride a bike (still with training wheels), ride a scooter, work a hula hoop, bounce a basketball, jump off a diving board or pier, go down the scariest slides, swing herself (since she was two!!), and she can even roller skate!!! Luke got roller skates for Christmas. Within a few days Kate was asking for roller skates. She had some Christmas money, so we went and got her a pair. She wore them for two days solid and learned to roller skate. Luke went to a birthday party at the roller rink a few weeks ago, so I took the girls so they could skate. Kate was not scared. She went right out there and even played the games and competed in the races.

Love that smile!! She even looks like she has been in a few roller derbies with her missing teeth!!!

The other day Chris said to me, "Does it surprise you Kate can hula hoop? She can do everything else!" So true!! We can't wait to see what trick she accomplishes next. We love you Baby Kate!!

By the way, she does not like to be called Baby Kate any more. She wants to be just Kate. I am sorry she will always be Baby Kate to us. She is just growing up too fast!
