Today is Cate’s third birthday.  Here she is enjoying one of her birthday presents (that she got a little early):

As we celebrate Cate’s birthday, let’s not forget that today is also Mole Day.  So can chemists take the day off?

Happy Days

Here’s a picture of Cate having a Happy Day at Broadway at the Beach.

Ayyyyyyyyyyy!  (800x600 JPEG, click to enlarge)

Broadway at the Beach has added a bunch of old rides from the Pavilion and called it the Pavilion Nostalgia Park. While i never went to the Myrtle Beach Pavilion while it was open, the rides do remind me a lot of what you could ride at the county fair when I was a little kid.

Easy as A-B-C

I expect a recording contract to show up in the mail soon.

What do you think?

My excavator!

The road between Cate’s daycare and our house has been under construction for some time, since a new bridge over the highway is being built.  So Cate sees a lot of earth movers, bulldozers, and so forth – and has become quite fascinated with them.  She comments every day on the “tractors” and how much she likes them.

She also likes my computer.  And if I let her use my Ebay account, I’m sure that she would probably do this:

A New Zealand couple nearly found themselves in a financial hole when their three-year-old daughter bought an earthdigger in an internet auction.

The child, Pipi Quinlan, was trying out her online skills while her parents were asleep in bed.

As Cate would say:  “I want one tractor!  For me!”

Cate’s snow day

Tuesday, January 20th, 2009

It doesn’t snow very much down in these parts of South Carolina.  There’s so little snow here that today was Cate’s first time to see snow anywhere other than on the television.

It’s good that the college was closed, since that meant that we could stay howm today and allow Cate to enjoy the snow with us.

Cate's first snow day:  January 20, 2009.  Cate has noticed that she can leave footprints, so she's started stomping around the front yard.

Cate enjoyed the snow quite a bit.  She was so wild abut the snow that we ended up taking her outside about four different times over the course of the day.  Cate has also learned the basics of the snowball fight – how to make snowballs, and how to throw them at things.  At the moment, she prefers large, stationary targets to moving ones.

Targets like Patty's car!

I wonder if there will be any snow left for Cate to play in tomorrow afternoon.
