1. One hundred days of school! For Kate's poster she choose 100 stars at Lake Powell. Of course, because she loves, loves, loves Lake Powell! For pulling it together the night before it was due, I think it turned out well.
2. For Kate's birthday, her grandparents gave her a sewing class at a local quilting store. She was so excited to go and asked for weeks if today was her class. Finally! The day was here. She was able to go with her grandma Randall and make a pillowcase. She picked out her own fabric and did most of the sewing (grandma had to push the foot because Kate was too short). She did a fantastic job and had an incredible time! She keeps asking when her next class is. Hmm...I guess I should sign her up for more!
3. A few nights ago, Kate complained of a toothache. Since it was a bedtime, we gave her some Advil and she feel asleep. The next day, she was fine until bedtime again. We took her over to see Dr. Lambert and he said to bring her into the office the next day. I thought we could wait until Monday, but she was up about every 45 minutes that night screaming and crying. After gym class the next day, Greg took her up to see the dentist. Kate ended up having a pulpectomy - a root canal for a baby tooth. Greg said she did great - just watched TV. Poor thing. I'm so glad we got it taken care of and a big thanks to Dr. Lambert for going in on his day off!
4. Kate has been having some night-time fears of a stranger coming into her room while she is sleeping. Fairly typical at this age, but we are trying not to minimalize them. We stick closely to her bedtime routine. Reassure her that everything will be okay. Nothing seemed to help until we reminded her that even if we are all asleep, someone will always know if there is a stranger nearby: Coal. Coal barks at every person who crosses her territory, meaning the yard. Now, Coal sleeps in Kate's room. Kate has had no problems going to sleep and sleeping through the night. Coal is such a great part of our family.
