Some things are intrinsic- they don't need to be taught or even modeled. They are in our genes. They define who we are as individuals. Kate's love of motorcycles is one example. Josh never really told her about motorcycles, never talked about them, or really pointed them out to Kate. But Kate's fascination with bikes grew and grew. Boy was Kate surprised to learn that Daddy actually had a motorcycle hidden in the garage. We pulled it out the other day and let her sit on it. She was a little apprehensive when we revved the engine, but all in all she loved it. Now she asks to go down to the garage at least 5 times a day to see the motorcycle. Sadly (in some ways) the bike has been sold and will be given to its new owner tomorrow. It's an end of an era for Josh...and I'm afraid a heartbreaking discovery awaits Kate the next time she goes into the garage.

Thanks, Ben, for letting Kate have a turn on the bike!
Another discovery that personally I LOVE about Kate, is that she seems to believe that she is from Boston. Her accent would place her in New England any day! I swear I didn't influence this. But Kate speaks like a true Bostonian. Here a few of her favorite expressions:
Bye, bye! See ya, latah.
Where ah we?
Cah ride?
Now, if I can just get her to say that lunch was "wicked" good...she'll be good as gold!
