New Tricks


Everyone is full of lots of new tricks these days.  But then again, I think that's always the case around here.  Everyone is constantly learning, and trying new things, and getting so amazingly big, they're constantly surprising us with all of the stuff they can do.  On a recent trip to the park, Peter kept me pretty busy with lots of, "Mommy, watch me!  Mommy look at me!"  And, whew, was he right!  There was swinging, and climbing, and hanging, and running, and jumping, and all sorts of busy, busy, activity!  And then there's Catherine.  She may not have been saying it quite so loudly, but she was ready to show off lots of her own new tricks.  Like standing on this step........which she did proudly over and over about a hundred times........pausing to pose and clap for herself each time, making sure we all saw her new climbing skills.  That was pretty cool, but I think my favorite new Catherine trick is her nodding.  Yup, she's really a "yes, girl" these days.  Whenever we ask her a question, she'll often nod yes (though I'm not sure she's entirely clear on what she's agreeing to).  And her final trick, a little bit of a work in progress, is pretty quick walking.  One might even say we're in the preliminary stages of running.  Dear God, then we're really in for it......
