Congratulations to Kate for earning her purple dress! We went through a little phase (cross fingers it’s over) where she was writing with markers on things (such as sofas, floors, walls) and sticking stickers and the same such items. One morning when I was letting her have “unstructured playtime” I came upstairs to find my postage stamps stuck all over her shirt and my address labels stuck on everything and colorful drawings on my kitchen floor. Mom (as in me) had some words with Kate. Kate started sneaking her markers and stickers around until Mom put an end to it by gathering up stickers and markers into the “gobble bag.” Grandma pitched in and told Kate that she could earn a new dress if she could go 2 days without writing on or sticking stickers on anything but paper. It took a couple of tries, but she earned the dress!

"If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will--to your surprise--miss them profoundly." President Thomas S. Monson

My Kate
Bless her little free spirit heart, there is just something inside of her that wants to make the world more beautiful by "decorating" it!
