- I found a tiny flashlight for Emily to help her see her clock at night. Kate immediately claimed possession of it, and then Jack had to have one, so I gave him another one. They taped them to the wall in Jack's bedroom closet which they call their secret lair. When they want light, they turn on the flashlights. With any luck, they turn them off when they leave. Since I've also got a basement office cleaning project going on, I found some old cellphones and gave them to them, which of course enable them to expand Secret Lair Game to Spy Game, with flashlights, cellphones, and of course costumes -- typically Jack as Captain Rex and Kate as either Tangled princess, Cinderella Princess, or random pink-dressed princess. She has a Supergirl costume but that one doesn't show up as much.
- Jack had his 7 year old Doctor's appointment today. He's tall and thin and could read the trademark line on the very bottom of the eye chart. And is very ticklish and has an awesome laugh.
- Kate can spell "the" and is very proud of herself. And she sings as she's going to sleep sometimes, including songs Grandma sings to her about the Wise man building his house upon the rocks. And cracks Jack up by saying as she's going to sleep, "Mommy! Do you know what a VAMPIRE does? It SUCKS YOUR BLOOD. Yes!"
And she clearly has the best lettering ability in her entire preschool class.
