A glimpse at a day in the life of four year old Kate

Hearing test!

Chocolate gelato as a reward after four shots.  The nurse said my legs were trying to kick her so hard, I should play soccer!  

Dad came to my appointment for a little moral support.  Thanks Dad!

I had my 4 year well-check on Friday, so I thought I would take this time to give you a glimpse into what it is like to be 4 year-old Kate Evelyn Townsend.  Each morning I wake up bright and early between 6:30 and 7, and I am ready to go.  I wake up really happy and asking for pancakes (with syrup on the side) and chocolate milk almost every morning for breakfast.  After breakfast I play a little.  My favorite things to play right now are pretend (mostly I like to pretend that we are a family of cats or unicorns or dogs or peacocks or horses or birdies or reindeer).  I also really like to paint and draw and do "work" in workbooks.  Then if it is a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday I am off to school where my teachers say my favorite activities are practicing numbers and letters and anything artistic.  On Mondays and Fridays I stay home with Mom and we go to swimming, dance, or we spend time playing in the yard or at a park.  I love to draw with chalk in the driveway.  Mostly I draw rainbow unicorns and variations on that subject.   I am also very much into getting a game of "chase and tickle" started up.  I like to push Luke on his little trike or on my scooter and we also like to play "ball" together or "bury the animals" in the sandbox.  For lunch, I request that I have the exact same thing everyday: a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, a red apple and a yogurt stick.  My favorite dinner is princess spaghettios or macaroni and cheese shells.  I love my carbs.  Bedtime is around 8:00 and I really enjoy taking a bath with Luke and then reading books.  Some favorite books right now are 101 Dalmatians and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.   Then I drift off to dream and my dream wish is almost always about Baby Luke or a unicorn running across a rainbow.  Being four is really a good time.  Here are some photos from my doctor appointment where I got four shots (What the HECK???) and had my first vision and hearing test which I thought was great fun.
