sick day...

After Kate left for school I found this checklist that she made for the morning-

get up

eat Cherrios/raspberries

Sophie's note 

(a note to let Sophie know which of her stuffed animals she could play with while she was gone to school)

shoes

make lunch

bow bun :)

coat

:)

(smiley faces were written in all though her's were much cuter)

There is nothing quite like a list to get your head in the game! 

Sophie was home sick with a determined cold-

She and I finished the last pages of the novel

BECAUSE OF MR TERUPT

She listened attentively while a read the last pages through tears and sobs (what a great book).

She loved it so much that she grabbed the second in the series to read while she lay in bed with a kleenex box and a trash can close by.
