Kate just started a summer program at the school she will be attending in the fall. It was her first experience with "school" and needless to say she was extremely excited. She talked all the way to school about how she was going to learn to read. She couldn't wait to get there. I think she was vibrating in her car seat from all the anticipation.

I attempted to get Kate to eat a PB and J sandwich, but she only took a few bites before she said she was done. I knew she hadn't eaten enough, but...

A friend and I brought her son to the beach the other day! He is 6 months old and he was so excited with each new texture he was exposed too. However, we were careful that he was not exposed to the sun by adding sunblock to the list of things we needed at the beach.
