Sitting still

Sitting here in front of the computer instead of doing my ride today - it's killing me! It's also perfect weather for it - 65*F, clear skies, no wind at all. Oh well, there will be other rides. At least I feel better than my husband, recovering in the hospital today with a painful abdominal incision. I have to get the girls packed up and drive back two hours in case he gets sprung from the Big House later today.

Here are a few Catherine-isms from the last couple days. Ah, the life of a two-year-old:

• Eating hard-boiled eggs, she ate her favorite part, and then returned the white part to me, requesting "More yellow? More yellow?"
• Then last night I found her sitting on the floor in the kitchen, happily licking butter out of the butter dish as if it were an ice cream cone.
• Yesterday she pulled a set of curtains completely off the friggin' wall (the screws were loose in the drywall already). This morning she was dragging them around the floor by the big wooden curtain pole and announcing that she was "mopping! mopping!".
• These days when she wants her diaper changed she climbs up the changing table like a monkey up a ladder and lies down to assume the position for diaper-changing. I'm hoping that willingness to be potty-trained is not far behind!
