So, I'm sitting in my office wondering why it is so quiet in the house. Reagan was quietly turning round and round in circles singing a song to herself. Georgie was doing her best to copy her big sister. Absent was any shouting, screaming, fighting, bickering, jumping or bouncing. Kate was at school.
I woke her up at about 7:00 this morning. She started to fuss, but I quickly told her, "It's time to go to school." Her fussing immediately turned to laughter, and she scrambled out of bed, brushed her hair and teeth all before I could get her oatmeal made. Definitely done in record time. She ate breakfast and got dressed. We did her hair and put it in pink ribbons which promptly fell out because she has hair just like her mommy. I smiled because her uniform shirt is too big for her, but at least she will have room to grow. Her pants are cinched up to the last notch, and her belt doesn't do much good, but she's dressed, and I think she looks beautiful.
I walked her into the school with several bags of school supplies. Wow, has the school supply list grown! I filled her back pack. I filled three grocery bags, and Kate carried in the oversized paper. She was confused at the name tag on her desk. She said, "but it doesn't say Kate!" I had to explain that her full name was on the tag, "Katharine". She seemed to be able to except that, and she settled down and started to color as I labeled her back pack and gave her teacher the supplies. Then I kissed her and went home.
So, the house is quiet. Maybe I should visit a play place just to get my noise quota for the morning.
