Star Student

Scarlett was the "Star Student" a few weeks ago.  We made a poster all about Scarlett and her favorite things that she presented to her class.  We also made brownies to share with her classmates, and I went up to school one afternoon to read her book of choice to the kids -- "Do Princesses Wear Hiking Boots?"*

[*Answer:  Yes. They do all kinds of things like do chores, climb trees, play in the rain, etc.,  becuase (toddler life lesson alert) being a princess is about who you are on the inside (despite the fact that one of the little girls kept emphatically answering "NoOoOoO!" to the various questions about what princesses do).]

Here's Scarlett's poster.  In case it's too hard to read, it says: 

"I am 3 years old!  I live in Dallas.  This is me!  This is my family.  My friends are Merritt, Harper, Michael, Riley, and Bennitt [kids in her class].  I want to be a mommy when I grow up!  My favorite ... food -- mac & cheese, meat, and tomatoes; color -- yellow**; book -- princess books.  My pet is Winnie."

[**Really?  What happened to pink?  Scarlett explained, "Momma, I still like pink, it's just not my favorite color anymore."]
