Kate is a First Grader. Now to most people this is cute. To Kate this is very very important. She is a big girl! She is a First Grader! She is NOT a baby anymore, she is a big girl that can do things, if you use your asking, in First Grader form. "Kate, you need to take this medicine" Kate turns away... "Kate, you're a First Grader now! First Graders take their medicine when their Mommy asks them to" proceeds to take medicine. THEN prances the First Grader walk. Any praise for being a big girl, goes further than anything. Over the weekend my husband and I escaped for an overnight date night. My daughter Maria came home to stay with her sisters. When I told Kate she was having a sisters fun night, because she is now a First Grader, she was thrilled. They watched movies, ate junk and enjoyed each other. They let her stay up an extra two hours. It was a great night of my dreams for them. It's the very simple things that make life enjoyab
