Kate turns 5!

The last two days have been big in the life of Katherine Curly! Yesterday Kate turned 5! She has been so excited for her birthday to come, she was on cloud 9 all day. For her birthday she wanted to play in the ball pit at Ikea with her cousins. Then last night we had her party. Together we made a purple dinosaur cake, her favorite.

Kate was born at 1:52pm so all morning I teased her that she hadn't been born yet. I was really frustrating her. Kate kept showing me her arm and telling me that of course she had been "borneded" because she was right there. I tried to explain that she was born in the afternoon and in her frustration she said "Mom, you flabbergasted me!" She is to smart for her own good!

This morning Kate started kindergarten, exciting for Kate, traumatic for me and Rachel. Kate, however, couldn't wait. I peaked in her room at 6:30am and she was already getting dressed to go. Even though we miss her, Kate is more than ready to go. We met her teacher this week at orientation, Ms. Lobo. Ms Lobo seems very nice and energetic, perfect for Kate. Kate has told the teacher and helpers that she prefers to be called Katherine Curly, but she will be ok with Kate. She is so funny.
