  For Katie, Elbow Lane Day Camp continues to be a huge hit. Whenever possible, I still try to pick her up a few minutes early. But more and more, I arrive and she doesn't want to come home! The other day she was engaged in a heated game of Duck-Duck-Goose and had to be practically pried away.
  
  A few other recent camp snippets:
  
  * Katie approached Brett's mom at pick-up and informed her that Brett is her boyfriend. Why? "He makes toots on my arm!"
  
  * One of the counselors is continually remarking on Katie's appetite. "Katie can out-eat anyone I know," Courtney said to me yesterday. Of course, Katie also out-moves everyone, so she burns up every calorie right after she consumes it.
  
  * The Rugrats have been learning the choreography for their end-of-season music video. Apparently Katie has introduced all of her peers to the hiney-slap dance, and now they're all doing it... all the time. (Steve and I are expecting thank-you notes from the other parents. NOT.)
  
  * Katie is still coming home with all kinds of new skills and knowledge. The other day, we realized she was doing the Chicken Dance. She also loves to "instruct" Steve and me on new games and activities, just as the counselors and specialists teach her. The other night at bedtime, she was ordering me around even more than usual. "Why are you so bossy?" I said. "Do you want to be a boss like Daddy when you grow up?" Her reply: "No, I want dat now."
