This page is all about Katie. My middle born.  Dr. Lehman's Birth Order Book says middle borns are mysterious, and tend to not feel special growing up.  Also that they avoid conflict, act as mediators, exhibit extreme loyalty to their peer group, and appear somewhat as a maverick.  You decide.

Katie Beth~
Katie has always been the most challenging child of all 3 of mine. She's always been a little unconventional, and now that she's gotten older, that's become her basic personality. I have an amazing respect for KT, she is never afraid to question things, or find her own way in life. Not only does she think 'outside the box' she doesnt even allow herself to be put in the box in the first place.
(Have you ever known a KAT you could put in a box?!)
It's been very good for KT and I to be living together now. Everyone was a little scared about how the divorce would affect everyone. KT and I live alone together, and it's really an ideal situation. We are so much alike, it's scary! We spend a lot of time with friends, but do a lot of things together too. Our favorite activity by far is cruising the thrift stores.

KT spends most of her time on the phone and the internet. She has a lot of
friends that she's had for a long time.
One day, she came home from school
and took a nap, and she had 18
voicemails when she woke up!  She also works as a hostess, and gets great grades.

 

Favorite Food:
Cake Mix
Diet Coke
Talkie Bell
Triscuits and Easy Cheese
White Cheddar Popcorn

KT's Favorite Movies
SLC Punk
Breakfast Club
Empire Records
Mall Rats
Kids
KT Funnies:
The Rainbow's Coming!
I want to go to London and Eat Chocolate!
I Can't Breathe!
 

Katie has always been extremely claustrophobic. No matter what the situation, whether she is being tickled, teased, or even when I would try to put certain shirts on her when she was little - she always screams I can't breathe!!

Now, she can't ride in an elevator unless absolutely necessary, and almost always has a window open, no matter what!

 

KT is so confident in the person she is - she thinks nothing of applying for a job in her pajamas, or going to dinner at a nice Indian Restaurant in Camo pants, an orange halloween T-shirt and a devil-horn headband. Believe me, it's happened!

 
 

Once I was giving Katie a ration of BS about how she should be a certain kind of person.  She said:

I am a product of my environment..
