Well let me start with Caty updates. After her nap today she still didn't pan out to be much better in her behavior. First she decided to lock her bedroom door from the inside and close it. Then she comes to me and says that her baby is stuck in the room and she can't get out. I realize that she has locked the door. I ended up having to take the door handle apart to open the door. While I am doing it Caty is sitting in the floor in the hallway and I hear her muttering to herself. I THOUGHT I understood what she said, but wasn't quite sure. When I asked her she said "I was just talking to my daddy". I say ok... but what did you say? She finally repeats herself and I was correct in what I thought I heard... "That fucking door is so locked" she says in a whisper. !!!!!!! What the.?.?.? I ask her where she learned that word and she says her daddy. So then we had the talk about why we should never drop the F bomb.
So a little while later she is playing in my bathroom as she quite often does. She comes into the living room and says "Look - now I REALLY look like Danielle". (Danielle is a girl at her school who has short hair - the one we cut her hair similar to recently upon her request). I suddenly realize what she is trying to tell me - she has cut her hair! She cut ob both sides as well as a big chunk out of the front. She was very proud of herself. I can't say that's the word that I could use to describe how I felt about it.
And then later in the evening after a few other mishaps, I am sure... Caty is showing off for Gus (who DID come over...). After trying everything else to grab his attention, she decides that she should show off that ability she has to fart on command. Of course, he is highly impressed that my daughter knows how to make herself fart. Although it does tend to be pretty funny... I really need to stop laughing when she does that. Could become quite a social faux pas when she gets older.
So the last update is just that yes indeed Gus DID come over tonight. He didn't ever call - just came over at about 7:00 after Dylan's soccer practice. We had delicious dinner that I had prepared and then some quite delicious adult time after Caty went to bed. I really wish I didn't like him so much...
