I find it rather amusing that I can sit and watch my children for minutes, hours, days, etc. and never get bored of watching them grow, learn, smile..... you know, the list goes on and on. The older Katelynn gets the more fun it is to try to be a fly on the wall while she is having conversations with others (especially when it's with her peers!).
Today we went to Chik-fil-a to meet some friends for lunch and some playtime. It's something we do quite often with two other mommies and their kids so it's kind of a routine for the kids. We always sit at the same table and the three 3-year olds sit next to one another on one side of the table. Today Katelynn and her little friend were having a conversation about earrings. Camryn was telling Katelynn how she has some pretty clip-on earrings at home and somehow this earring conversation turned into Katelynn pulling off her socks and shoes (in the middle of a restaurant while we are eating lunch of all places) so that she could show Camryn her pretty, freshly painted toenails. I had stopped listening to her conversation with her friends for just a brief minute and the next thing I know my daughter is holding her feet up with no socks and shoes. When I told her she needed to keep her socks and shoes on, she looked at me so innocently and said, "I'm just showing Camryn my pretty paint." How could I argue with that?
She is really becoming so much more social (or maybe it's just that I'm just now realizing it). In any case, Katelynn made a point of asking any child she didn't know in the playarea today what their name was. I don't know why I found it so cute, but it just was. What really topped it off though was when she asked one little girl her name and then said, "I like your shirt. It is sooo beautiful!" All the moms that were currently in the playarea stopped to smile and say, "Aww." I have to admit I was proud to be her mommy!
