While I was doing the dishes tonight, Kate comes up to me and says, "Mom...I want to fly, how come this isn't working? (she was flapping her arms)." I got tickled and wasn't sure what to say. She was in imagination mode, or so I thought.
So I said, "well, Kate...flap harder sister!" (lol)
Kate: "I am!! See look, I am doing it super fast and nothing is happening!"
Me: "well, baby you're a little girl not a bird...How 'bout you run around and pretend to fly?!"
Kate: "well, how come Chloe can fly?"
Me: "Baby, Chloe can't fly."
Kate: "uh, huh!! I saw her!!"
Me: "oh really?"
Kate; "OH, but it's a secret...we can only do that when you aren't home" ( LOL! )
Me; (my interest has peaked) "What do you mean Kate?"
Kate: "Well, Daddy makes her fly but only does it when your not here."
Me: (hmm...not sure what to say about that!)
Kate: "He throws her on the bed and she flys in the air!" "He does it to Me and Maddie too, but it's a secret!"
Me: (I am giggling) Kate, it isn't a secret if you tell it. Besides you girls have done that while I was here...so it isn't a big secret silly girl."
Daddy was asleep so he wasn't able to defend himself....either way! :) I'm curious, so I'll have to ask him about this little story. Kate's imagination and understanding of what a secret is, has been pretty amusing tonight! lol!
The girls have finally calmed down, yes at 12:30am. They've been running all over the house "flying" like little birdies. Kate was the mommy and Maddie was the baby bird. They were making nests and eating worms! (aka noodles) Lol! Ahhh, I love my kids!
Katelyn sure is enjoying Christmas break and Maddie is enjoying having her sister home all day with her! Who needs all these brand new toys when you can fly like a bird?!? ;)
