Today was picture day at her preschool. And apparently she cried and cried because she didn’t want to have her picture made. So she didn’t. Literally refused to even sit there. They even sent a note home saying they would refund my money.
Had they not said anything, I never would have known she was upset, because when she got home she hopped out of the car and begged me to take her picture.
Last week after we visited the pumpkin patch, she came home and drew a happy face, a sad face, and a scary face all around her pumpkin. And then she named each face, with names she obviously thought of herself: Alysia, Crouton, and Ganana.
At the time, I wondered why she spent so much time on all the faces (and also was slightly amused by her choice of names).
Now I think she was just looking for someone to identify with. And she really should have named all of them Kate.

Gram - Oh how I love that girl, who is no longer a baby girl!! Love every single one of those pics! Please have me a big print made of the first one! (I’ll pay, of course!)
Shari Barnes - Oh Kelly… she just knows no one else could come close to taking a good picture of her like her momma does!!! Why settle for mediocre when she has the BEST at home!! Glad to hear things are going well! Miss chatting with you!
Melissa - We were cracking up reading this! I wanna see pictures of the multi-faced pumpkin, please!
Lacey McKay - Too funny. I’d like to see a pic of the pumpkin too. Actually, I guess you’ll have to take three pics. I can’t believe how long her hair is now! Makes me realize how long it has been since we saw you guys!
Liz - oh my goodness. It amazes me that she is about to turn 4. It seems like yesterday that I was visiting you in the hospital and holding her as a tiny baby!! She is such a precious soul and is going to do great things! Give her a great big hug from me! I agree with Gram the first one is my favorite too!
