From Caroline's Mouth

Caroline says all kinds of amusing things to us on a daily basis now. Unfortunately, I probably have forgotten what a lot of those things were, even though at the time I said I wanted to write it down in the blog. Oh well, I do the best I can.

However, here are a few that have made us laugh:

When asked what she wants from Santa-- "toys, popsicles and candy canes!"

In the car on the way to Birmingham for the Curtis Christmas: "Daddy, I can't hear the movie.... Catherine's talking"

When we got home from Birmingham and pulled in the garage, Chris got Catherine out of the car first because she had fallen asleep, leaving me in the third row and Caroline in her car seat in the second row. So I told Caroline I would just climb over and get her out and she said "I want Daddy to get me out. I like Daddy better". Ugh. Talk about a knife to the heart. I'm sure one of these days I will laugh about that one. Not yet.

Caroline has recently developed a problem of waking up too early in the morning-- like 5 or 5:30 and even 4:30 one morning. We have decided, after attempting a variety of ways to solve the problem, that our last resort is to not go into her room until at least 6:30. So, the other day on the way home from school she told me she was tired and I said that it was becuase she woke up too early. I asked her why she was waking up so early and she said "Daddy comes and gets you (me)." And I said, "yes but Daddy is going to stop coming to get you now." And she said," Daddy closed the door." (Chris had gone in and tried to get her to go back to sleep and then left her room and shut the door.) "And then I try to climb out of my crib"
