Voice of Doom

Well, life is moving right along here at the Rose estate. We're in the middle of planning for Kate's birthday party at Peter Piper Pizza and are hoping that many of her friends from school and church come and have fun. Will is growing so fast and Kate is so obsessed with him I sometimes think she would rather be his mother than sister. Will's nickname at the moment is "thunder-thighs". He is so cute with his little fat thighs and fat rolls...we are so blessed! Also, Will is much more alert and he laughs and is more interactive with us which is awesome!

Kate is developing socially, emotionally, and physically with each day. It seems that every time I try to pick her up she gets heavier and heavier, which is good given that she's a petite girl. It's also great having little conversations with her. It's crazy how fast she picks up on things she sees from the television, books, and every other place she goes. For example, recently she's become infatuated with the Cosby Show...a good, clean show that she can watch without us worrying about language, violence etc. The other day, Kate came in and had been watching Cosby, specifically the episode where Cliff is bidding on a jazz record at an auction and leading up to the auction he tells Claire that he'll get the record because he will use the Huxtable "voice of doom". When he said "voice of doom" he uses a distorted, deep, growling voice...it makes Kate laugh every time. 

Well, Kate came in and while I was getting ready for work, she said 

"Daddy, where you going?" 

I said "to work sweetie." 

She said "you're going to work?"

 I said "yes."

 She said "Daddy, are going to use the "voice of doom?" 

What made me crack up laughing was the she said it in her own growling, distorted voice! What a treat she is to raise!

Well, that all there is to say for the The Roses at the moment...Abby is hollering at me to come and help make tacos so we can then make brownie sundaes...a special treat since we're not having group tonight.

Peace out.
