March 7, 2012

It warmed up a little today. Warm for March, rather chilly if it were the summer, so I guess 'warmed up' is relative. We went for a walk, then washed the salt off the truck. I don't know how, but about 5 minutes after this she said something about getting soap on her head. I turned around and her shirt was completely soaked.

My daughter's outfit for her ballet recital in April. Hopefully before then, I'll figure out what we're supposed to do with the gold ribbon that came with it.

My brother put his snow tires up in top of the barn. Does that mean it's going to snow a lot soon, or is spring here?

Pieces parts of the swimming pool. Yes, I'm looking forward to summer.

My daughter the kindergarten dictator: She got in trouble for lying, so instead of playing the computer, she had to sit at the table. She cried for a little bit, then got busy writing. Lately, she's been writing stuff: words, and recently sentences, which she sounds out herself. I was caught off guard when she handed me this. Translation: " To mom: I love you mom now I don't like you anymore because you hurt my feelings and you didn't let me play on the computer. If you want me to be happy then let me play on the computer." There's so many emotions here- I'm thrilled she can write so well, on her own, and with decent handwriting. But her little attitude needs some work! Obviously, she already knows how to pull on the heartstrings. Can't wait for the teenage years!
