Kate 3 Years

Katherine is 3! I can not imagine our family without her and yet the past 3 years have gone by so fast. She is simply amazing! Her compassion and intuition is well beyond her age. She shocks us every day by how smart she is and how much she remembers and how much she understands. You definitely have to watch what you say because she remembers and gets it! She knows her ABCs, counts objects, recognizes her name, knows a lot of letters, knows every shape, sings songs, has an incredible memory and sense of direction, has the reasoning of a much older child, reminds us to pray and to drive with two hands, stops Abby from getting in dangerous situations, very imaginative, is incredibly sweet and willful… :) She is already her own little person!

~Funny story that happened a little while ago:

One evening Jason told Kate when she was older he would take her camping (this was when he was leaving for a boy scout campout). Kate goes “Oh, I get ring, get married, and have babies then go camping.” Because that’s what she understands will happen when she’s “older.” Jas told her he meant more like when she was 4

~When Jason and I go out we tell her we’re going on a date. Lots of times she says she wants to go on date too. So, one Saturday we had a Kate date with Mommy, Daddy, and just Kate. We went to the part then to the movies to see Tangled. She actually watched the entire movie! A couple of the scary scenes she ended up on one of our laps but she really had fun. I can’t wait for our future dates!
