She's back!
Katie is tired of the camera,
originally uploaded by wdalphin. Katie and Melissa returned home Saturday night. Katie fells asleep on the ride from the airport and didn't even wake up when we got home and I had to unstrap her from her carseat and carry her inside through brightly lit hallways. Sunday morning, we went to the park, where she got excited by a couple mothers blowing bubbles, but when they offered to blow bubbles for her to chase, she covered her face with my leg. So we went to Target before we went home, where she picked out a Thomas the tank engine auto bubble blower (because bubble sticks give her trouble and get her hands all slimey). She's still learning how to use it, but she can make it work with some effort. This photo was taken after lunch (chickens and fries and mustard as she puts it), when she returned to the porch for more bubble-blowing. At bed time, she wanted her bubble blower in bed with her, but I said absolutely not. That thing leaks way too easily.
