Photo Essay: Mornings at Chez PooBou
Catie: “Mommy, take my pitcha wif Beaumont!”
Beaumont: “Is she touching me? Why is she touching me? Make her stop!”
Catie: “Beaumont, say cheese!”
Beaumont: “MOW! Now make her let go of me!”
Catie: “C’mon, Beaumont! We take a pitcha! Smile!”
Beaumont: “Get this kid away from me. I just want mah damn kibble. Can’t a guy eat breakfast in peace around here?”
Catie: “Mommy, why Beaumont not smile for the pitcha?”
Beaumont: “I will have my vengeance on you, woman.”
Easter weekend wrap-up
Our weekend:
We got to spend some time with my sister. (Clearly, Catie was not in the mood for my camera. At all.) Tracy’s friend Renee was also here, helping her move, which was fun because I haven’t seen Renee in probably six years, and she’d never met either Dave or Catie. It didn’t take Catie very long to warm up to Renee. I’m pretty sure she was in Renee’s lap within a minute or so.
My sister’s cats were also here, which was definitely a high point of the weekend for Catie. Probably not so much for the cats. They spent the night cooped up in a guest room, totally freaked out.
Saturday night, the Easter bunny came to visit. I think Catie is a fan.
On Sunday morning, we got all dressed up and went to church.
My new favorite picture of us.
After church, we went to the playground and a local lake (with the intent of seeing the ducks and geese, but alas, there were none at the lake yesterday). Then we picked up lunch, came home, and took a nap.
After naptime, we had a little impromptu Easter egg hunt in our backyard.
After the Easter egg hunt, Catie heard some neighborhood kids playing outside and wanted to go join in. I walked her across the street so she could play for a while. It was very bizarre to me that she ran up and started talking to these girls who are about 8 or 9 years old, and they totally understood her. Apparently my toddler-to-English translation services are no longer needed. That’s new.
Hope everyone else had a nice Easter (or, you know, just a nice weekend, if that’s more your thing).

Not-so-Wordless Wednesday: Three
Hey Catie, how old are you today?
Smart girl.
We had Catie’s birthday party this past weekend since my brother and sister were able to come visit then. It was a lot of fun.
It was a great birthday party, and Catie was pretty distraught the next day when Tracy and Chris had to leave. She can never get enough time with the people she adores.
But she’s recovering now, since we were able to pick up her birthday gift from Grandma, Grandpa Roger, Uncle Steve: a brand new toy kitchen!
I’ll write more later. Right now my mom and I are going to make some birthday cupcakes to celebrate my girl’s actual big day.
