Swimming Friend

Tonight mom, dad and I went to the pool. I met Kylie, a girl that will turn 3 in a few weeks and lives a few houses away from me. While mommy and daddy talked to her daddy, she and I played. We had so much fun. We carried on great conversations about when we did today, dinosaurs, swimming and all sorts of stuff! I even showed her how to play with my pool toy that shoots water and we did a great job sharing! I would ask her to watch me swim on my back, watch me turn around, watch me spray water and stuff and she would watch. She would even say things like "cool" or "wow" that were really encouraging!

I told her "I like playing with you" and she said "we're swimming friends"! I had so much fun...can't wait to play with Kylie again!
Love,
Kate

Playdate!

Yesterday Nama and I got to have a play date with Miss Lori and my best friend Sydney! We had so much fun! We played like crazy. I love her kitchen and we did a really cool obstacle course! I got to watch how good Sydney is at the big girl potty! I even gave it a try a few times (although I did not have to go potty)!

When I got there Mr. Aaron answered the door and said "hi Kate"...I quickly and politely told him "no, my name is Dorothy". Miss Lori did not realize my name change either and when she told Kate hi, I told her "no, Dorothy". Pretty soon everyone, even Sydney, was calling me by my preferred name! Perfect!

I hope we make the play date a tradition! I can't wait to play again soon!
Love,
Kate

"Ali and Roberto"

Daddy's favorite show is "The Bachelor" or "The Bachelorette"...whichever season is it. I got to watch a little bit on Ali - but did not get to know her as much as I got to know Jake last season! Well, Nama and I were on the computer the other day and I saw a preview for the show and we watched it OVER and OVER again! I loved Ali's shoes and her dress! It made such an impression to me that today I changed my name to "Ali" and Nama's name to "Roberto" (her fiance).

I made everyone call me Ali today! In fact, I asked Nama and Mommy to buy me Ali's shoes.

Actress

So, you all know I love "The Wizard of Oz". I have seen it many times, but do you know that I can act out lots of different scenes? Some of my favorite to act out are:
- When Dorothy falls asleep in the poppy's and Glenda makes it snow and Dorothy wakes up
- When Dorothy falls in the pig pen and they help her out
- When Dorothy pours water on the Wicked Witch of the West and she melts
- When Dorothy says "there's no place like home" and then wakes up in her house in Kansas
- When Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Lion all sing "You're off to see the Wizard"

I just love to pretend. I am a little actress!
Love,

"Mom"

I am becoming a really big girl. So big that I have started to call my mommy "mom" more and more. I think she likes it, but is a little sad at how fast I am growing up! I still call her "mommy" too though!

POTTY!!

Today is a super BIG day! I went potty on the potty 3 times! Once at Nama's and then I peed once and pooped once at my house! I have become even more interested in the potty since I had my playdate with Sydney yesterday. Sydney is really good at using the big girl potty. In fact, she climbs up on the potty like a little monkey! I use my step stool and my potty seat...it is starting to be so much fun! In fact, I was so excited about it tonight that I went to lots of potty's to try out my skill! M&M's here I come!

I am becoming such a BIG girl!
Love,

Swimming Lessons & Gymnastics

Mommy and Daddy signed me up for Swimming lessons this morning! I am so excited to show all of the kids how I can jump off the side of the pool and blow bubbles in the water. In October, when swimming lessons are over, I'll start Gymnastics. I hope they let me wear my Dorothy dress.

Love,
Kate
