Cate's current obsession....putting her babies to bed. all. the. time.
Babies move from the living room to the kitchen, each time being laid on a blanket (previously a dish towel), placed face down, and covered by another blanket (again, previously a dish towel). Cate then proceeds to pat (beat) their backs, and then says "shhhh" with her finger to her mouth. Before I pulled a few of her receiving blankets out, Cate went through ALL my dish towels each day, but she much prefers the blankets now, thankfully.
At first we just watched in amazement, and then we realized this is the process they go through at nap time at school each day, though I'm sure the teachers actually pat the children's backs a bit more gently than Cate does. Speaking of school, Cate is doing great now! She had two days this week she didn't even flinch when I left, just kissed and said bye bye. She also puts the babies to bed at school (the whole class loves baby dolls right now, even the little boys). We had one little incident a couple weeks ago, Cate was a little bully-pulling hair and biting (one time), got put in time out and hasn't done it again. Of course who did she pick on, one of the smallest children in the classroom.....but her teacher says she always listens to her (glad she listens to her, because she doesn't listen to me all the time). Cate has started eating better too, so all in all, we're happy people!
Cate's other obsession is her mouth, she's cutting ALL four of her incisors right now, the top two started first and weren't a big deal, but this weekend the bottom two have started and she was miserable all weekend, up most of the night Saturday, barely napped and cried all day Sunday. Luckily she slept last night (from utter exhaustion I think), seems a little better today, the drooling has slowed to a small leak from the fountain it was yesterday. Hopefully this will pass quickly and we can start having some fun again!
