That Bug is a Nut!

My daughter Katie is quite a nut. She has been since she turned two. This lens is dedicated to her. It's a place for me to put some of her silly quotes and talk about some of the things she loves. A bit of a digital scrapbook of Katie here and now at the ripe old age of four and a half.

Things That Katie Adores 

  • Singing
  • Dancing
  • Singing and dancing at the same time
  • Hopping like a rabbit
  • Playing dress up
  • Coloring, markering, painting with watercolors
  • Playing football, soccer, basketball with her brother's toys
  • Making "dinner" and serving tea
  • Pretending to be a superhero
  • Pretending to be a princess, lost in the woods
  • Singing and dancing some more

Katie Loves Owly! 

A Reflection of Me 

I read one of those forwarded e-mails one time that had a few witty quotes about kids. Here's one that sums up Katie:

Children seldom misquote you. In fact, they usually repeat word for word what you shouldn't have said.

This is so true of Katie. I hear some mothers tell stories about their Little Suzie playing mommy and gently correcting their baby dolls when they do wrong. If the way my daughter plays is any indication, I am always screaming "NO! That's BAD! Don't do THAT!" Sigh. I know that I don't do that, but it is a good reminder that the little eyes are upon me and the little ears will repeat what they hear.

Katie Quotables 

Katie says a lot of other things that are a lot nicer than what she says to her dollies. Here are a few of the more memorable ones:
  • Daddy, when I grow up I want to be an astronaut so that I can go up to space and find all the superheros!
  • 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, Twenty-eight!
  • Does Grandmom's dungeon [basement] have rats in it?
  • My tummy hurts. I think it's because my brain is working so, so hard.
  • Mommy, I'm tired. I need to sit down and rest and then I can clean up my room.
  • When I see the pretty princesses... it makes me want to go to DISNEY WORLD!
  • Mommy, I'm really old. I'm like 80! It was my birthday... and nobody got me a card!
  • Mommy! I'm the princess of the Snow and the Ponies!
  • Are you arguing with me, you?
  • I like "Rock Out" songs and Jesus songs.

Lenses about Being a Mom 

Here are some lenses I've created because Katie made me a mom. If it weren't for her, I'd know nothing about these things...

Katie is a Big Sister! 

On July 1, 2006, Katie became a big sister! But judging from the size of her "little" brother you wouldn't know it.

Katie loves being a big sister and she's a very good one! She's now learned a lot about how to be a good mommy (babies shouldn't eat Play-Doh) and she helps quiet to quiet her brother when he's fussy (by dancing and singing for him). I think it's safe to say they will have a great relationship as they grow older. They already are very sweet with each other, as you can see here.

Katie's Favorite Movies 

I think this list of Katie's favorite movies says more about her parents then it does about Katie. Mommy loves Disney. Daddy loves superheros. Katie just loves movies-any movies that we'll let her see!

I Need a Blog! 

Here's a video of our daughter when she was three claiming that she needs a blog.

Katie Needs a Blog

Katie Grace Seitler is sad. She has no blog, and she's convinced she needs one to watch movies at the office. (Well, she has one now: http://twitter.com/katiegrace is where it's at!)

Hi Katie
I hope you now have a blog. This is a lovely squidoo lens well done Katie's mum. I think this is a worthwhile charity to support.
All the best to your lovely family.

This Lens Supports Blood:Water Mission in Katie's Name 

This lens is proud to support Blood:Water Mission, an organization that is committed to clean blood and clean water to fight the HIV/AIDS pandemic, to build clean wells in Africa, to support medical facilities caring for the sick, to make a lasting impact in the fight against poverty, injustice and oppression in Africa through the linking of needs, talents and continents, of people and resources.

When Katie found out about the kids in Africa and their "yucky water" she wanted to send them all the coins in her piggy bank. Since her piggy bank isn't close to full yet, Travis and I decided to make lenses in support of Blood:Water Mission. That way, we could contribute something now and not wait for "someday" to come. I am proud to do this in Katie's name.

A donation of one dollar equals one year of clean water for one African. You can find out more by visiting their website:
