We spent much of the weekend with Katherine’s playmates. Friday evening we rode thru the watershed and ended up at a local restaurant for dinner. It’s funny to note that Katherine hadn’t been very excited about eating a quesadilla. However, once Audrey started eating her quesadilla, Katherine stuffed at least half of her down. Steve also ordered Katherine a side of guac, so she spent much of the dinner double, triple dipping chips in her guac. We also headed over to a nearby park, where the girls zipped down the slides and ran around in general. Katherine definitely wanted to imitate Audrey, deciding she wanted to sit in the choo choo rocker just like her friend. Needless to say, Katherine slept very well this weekend – all through the night no issues. ๐
Yesterday, we visited Queen Anne, where we rode with friends to the fish ladder and then to lunch down in Magnolia. Katherine was not terribly psyched about the trip, as we cycled along roads with cars. Biking behind Steve, I heard her say “out out out out…” for a good minute before squawking and then resignedly sucking her thumb. She got a big kick out of the fish “jump jump” and walking with her friend Sid. We then got back in our bikes, ate a leisurely meal (Katherine was on a tear with her food), and then cycling back up the hill. That was rather painful after lunch but we got Katherine back in the car by 2:00 for a super late nap.
Today we went to a park in Mercer Island where we spent an hour. I guess Katherine got more sun and heat than we thought because she slept 2.5 hours and woke up very hot. After she ran around for a while, we went to a friends’ house for dinner. Katherine was very much beside herself, and wanted to be held all afternoon. She didn’t want to eat and didn’t want to play. We left early and tried to cool Katherine down with a cool bath (hated it). Steve ended up holding her for an hour and I convinced Katherine to eat some corn on the cob and drink juice before she fell asleep out on our bed.
