Your first pimple… You were almost proud of it – really, really too cute.
Wanted to tell me. Pointed it out by saying it hurt to Daddy Jim and Madey.
Later, when you were in the shower, you gave me permission to take a picture of it after telling me not to earlier.
Growing up with you is SO MUCH FUN!!
(I wrote this post a year ago, and it was saved in “Drafts.” Thought I would publish it so you can see it)
Yesterday your Dad and I met with Mrs. Markajani in our first sit-down meeting to talk about how wonderful you are. I can not WAIT to scan and add the stories you’ve been writing to your teacher on this blog… They are FAR too precious for words!!
One began
“To Karin
“Your assinmt is do draw the pikturs.”
And then you wrote a beautiful story about one friend who see the beautiful insides of another friend. When your teacher asked, “Karin?” “Yes,” you replied, “Markajani is too many letters.” 🙂 LOL
Highlight: – you have made your own space at your new school, feeling like you now have many friends there. When Halle is out, then Zacharia steps us. They are becoming your community.
when you woke up….
….
“Oh my gosh, Mama, I’m a fourth grader!!!”
🙂 What a wonderful transition we had from summer to 4th grade!!!
You made the School District’s Welcome Back to School video! Check you out HOPPING off the bus in your beautiful first day of school dress!!
