Kate stories

Kate has had some dozy of Kate-isms lately!

On Tuesday, Kate was upstairs doing her "homework." She was working on writing numbers. In the book, there is an addition problem 3+4=7.

"MOM (dramatic), Ms. Sherry is WRONG!"
What do you mean?
"She says 5+2=7."
It does.
"But this says 3+4=7."
Add 5 plus 2 with your fingers.
She does this.
"7!"
And what is 6+1?
Again with the finger counting.
"7!"
Yes, different number groupings can add up to make the same number.
"Oh!"
See, Ms. Sherry was right.

Thursday as she was getting ready for the Gymboree Party, she was once again very dramatic.

"Mom, I love Halloween!"
Why?
"Because you can make believe you are anything!"
Who are you pretending to be?
"Sue Hendrickson."
(I know who she is but I was egging Kate on.) Who's she?
"A paleontologist!"
And what did she discover?
"Sue."
Who's Sue?
"A  GIGANTIC T-Rex!"


I don't know too many 4 1/2 year olds who can tell me the name of the paleontologist who discovered Sue. :) I am so glad she has an ideal, though. :)
