you know at the beginning of the monkey bars? well i fell from there today and now my knee is stiff and it hurts. it's not so careful being a 6 year old as it is being a 4 year old or an 8 year old, you know!

cecelia: lionel? lionellllllllllllll!??!

lionel: i'm not lionel. i'm noah.

my great great granson, lionel, is NOT available!

cecelia worked on her child of god project for GS. this is a picture of what she made! i love her! i love her creativity! i hope it grows!

today, at school, lainey did not sit with her at lunch. lainey wanted to sit with the cool girls, so she left cecelia in the dust. cecelia did not care. she told me, very matter of factly, why lainey was sitting elsewhere. i was TORN UP inside!! i was so mad! i listened to the conversation of those girls... shameful!! rude!! selfish!! downright MEAN!! and they are only in third grade! i'm proud of my girl for being so UNaffected. she really is an awesome little lady!
