Backpack!

Kate got to pick out her new backpack at the mall Sunday after lunch.  She has worn it almost all day while she has been awake.

Here's a closer view of her new backpack.  She said the girl was dancing and it was pink -- that's why she picked it.  She didn't realize it was a cheerleader instead.  She picked out the font for her name and the color of the thread (with some careful suggestions).  This is a reward for her giving up her pacy for good!  She says that pacy's are for babies now and that all of her pacy's went to help Baby Charlotte across the street.  She says that she is a big girl now and that she does not need one because they are for babies.  I am so proud of her and so happy she got rid of it so quickly and without too much trouble!!!  It was much easier than I anticipated!  Once she made up her mind, she was done with them.  This is a huge milestone in our family!!  Go Kate!!!  So, if you see Kate around, chances are high that you'll see her with her backpack on.  She even tried to wear to the bathroom this morning.  She amazes me sometimes!!
