It is hard to believe that Catherine Reese turned three last week. Cate's foot next to mine in the same socks is shown below, and she is catching up!
On her birthday, we went to the Timbers game, where we had, among other things, chocolate ice cream!
The following night we had some friends over, and we celebrated for real with a cake. Please note the Tinkerbell meets Star Wars theme.
When I reflect on that cake and Cate at this age, it is obvious that Cate has become quite the individual. She went through several recent school transitions that were quite challenging, but she now seems quite settled. She knows what she likes and dislikes, and there is no better word to describe her than resolute. Some might say stubborn, but we'll call it resolute. Please see a recent New Yorker cover that captures Cate's essence below.
Cate has an amazing sense of self. I call her my little Messi not only for her amazing soccer strike but also because of the effortlessness with which she seems to excel! I cannot wait to see her grow and change! Here's to Cate!
