Daddy's little helper

Kathleen helped daddy fix the dryer Monday night. Notice the pearls with her tools. Mamaw would be proud.

"That says Kathleen"

Yesterday when I picked Kathleen up from school she showed me her artwork in her cubby. As she pointed to the marker dots on the page she said, "there's the circles." Then she pointed to her name on the paper and said "that says Kathleen" - I was amazed. She can recognize her name by sight! I told Calvin the story that night and he tested her just to see if she would be able to do it again by asking what was on the label of her cup at dinner. Kathleen responded by saying, "Kathleen!" in an excited and confident voice. We told her she was right and got excited for her that she could read  her name. Then this morning while Kathleen was eating breakfast she pointed to her name on the paper artwork from school again and said "that's the baby's name." 

I love our smart girl. I am so happy with her new class since she's moved up to the Yellow Finches room. She is doing so well with every thing we ask of her.

Tea Anyone?

Kathleen loved having tea on her new blanket with the stuffed animals Grandma Luann sent for Christmas. Thanks Grandma Luann!!

A visit from Aunt Mo

We so enjoyed our visit this Thursday from Aunt Maureen (aka. Aunt Mo). She stayed the week with my parents in Davie County and came on Thursday with Mom to see where we are living in Henderson. We met up for the afternoon at the NC Museum of Life and Science in Durham. Thank you for taking the time to come play! We love you.
