Why oh Why oh Why

But Why Mommy?

Why Mommy?

Why?

We all know 3 year old can ask that to the point of driving an adult insane.

But what to do when the "baby" starts asking it too?

I mean really, what to do?!

Since Kathryn is fairly sure she can do everything her brother does -she has decided to start in with the "Why?" as well.

It's actually cute and does not get to the point of driving me crazy, yet.

YET!

I still marvel at her vocab strength just because Ryan didn't get real verbal until nearly two.

* A few weeks ago we went to the zoo with friends Alec and Lindsay.

Alec has an opportunity to feed the penguins - Dora and Santiago

Oh the anticipation!

Another animal - this time at the Kennedy household zoo photo session while we watch Miss K in the tub and then Miss K in the tub. Her hair, uncontrolled!

And on to basketball.

Kathryn giving Ryan some basketball tips.

Ready to go in for his first game. He's the yellow team.

His mother forgot to bring his yellow shirt.

Bad Mom.

It's been a while since I gave Joey an honorable mention.

Kathryn LOVES to love on Joey.

Much to my surprise she is so patient.

I really thought she would have limited tolerance for youngsters shenanigans, but am very pleasantly surprised with Joey.

How cool is this shot?

We went to the zoo again today and our friend Lindsay snapped this photo.

Alec & Ryan And will end with this little tidbit - mainly so I remember it in the future.

Kathryn loves to get stuff out of the food pantry.

If the door is left open, you'll find her in there making a mess.

Her favorite is getting into the small packages of instant oatmeal - in a large box on a low shelf.

Both Paul and I were in the family room. Out comes Kathryn with a fist full of oatmeal packages.

She complied when we ask her to go put them back.

We also ask Ryan to go make sure she does it and then close the door.

He complied as well.

But we should have mentioned that he should make sure his sister is out of the pantry before he shuts the door!

He shut it, with her inside and then bolted to hide.

A sure sign he knew he did wrong.

Paul gets up to investigate - Ryan is hiding and Kathryn is in the pantry knocking on the door to be let out.

The first of many sibling pranks, I am sure.
