I put Katelyn in this outfit and just had to take a picture! She loves her new boots and hat and had no problem posing for the pictures! She sure is a sweetheart when she wants to be and gives so many hugs and kisses to everyone. Her favorite thing is Eskimo kisses, and she makes sure that she doesn't leave anyone out and gives them to everyone in the room.
And thanks to my mother we have found two new techniques to managing her tantrums...
If she throws herself on the floor and refuses to move or go anywhere, my mom will say "Let's start counting!" And for some reason Katelyn will jump up and take very slow steps while my mom counts her steps until Katelyn has reached the desired destination...it's amazing! And Katelyn has this problem of screaming REALLY loud when she is frustrated, and my mom said to her one day, "Oh no! You let the scream out! Hurry and put it back in your mouth, we don't want to let the scream out!" Katelyn then hurried and pretended to put it back in her mouth and said "I put it back!" Now, whenever she screams I say, "Put it back." and she will put it back and say, "Sorry Mama, I put it back." It is so sweet! THANK HEAVEN for my mother!!!!!

she is darling in that outfit. I love her hat. Makes me want it to get really cold so I can wear mine. What great ways to get her to pay attention to what she is doing and realize it doesn't get her anywhere. What a smart mommy you have!
