So as a wrap-up to Katherine being “Class Cowgirl,” she got to have Someone or Something She Loved come to her class.
And (toes ground) she chose me. But mostly because Uncle Bear couldn’t make it, I think. 🙂
It made for some very tight scheduling — driving there while finishing one conference call, skipping another, racing home to be back in time for a third (well, fifth of the day). But it was worth it.
First Katherine got to show her journal from having Pickles at home. She didn’t keep up on it as much as I’d have liked, but she actually filled most of the pages, and there were some great pictures and stories. She also had filled in an “All About Me” poster with her description, and drawings of her family, and lists of friends, and what she really wanted (“a baby brother or sister”), etc. Very cool.
She got to introduce me, tell them why she loved me (“Because he loves me very much”) and I got to tell them what I loved about her (how smart she is, how creative she is, and her smile).
Then the teacher had everyone describe something they liked about Katherine (she was lauded for being such a good friend, for her drawing, and for being so responsible).
It was very keen. I’m glad I was there.
Awwww. 😀
Good daddy.
