Did a joint photo shoot with Kate's cousin Reed (front)
Got some really funny ones... will pass along more later...
Ms. Kate is apparently a Queen Bee at school... here's what her teacher has to say:
"We did have another big day of Eleanor and Linhy fighting over who got to sit
next to Kate at mealtimes, and this is increasingly becoming a problem.
Kate never seems to be the odd lady out at this point, and its hard to tell how
much she is experimenting with her power of excluding other people and how much
she is just playing along with other's power struggles. Usually in the
later half of the yer this sort of thing can start to arise, as kids get really
into exploring social dynamics and social power and by the time they are
Explorers can get pretty mean by discovering the exciting results that hurting
another persons feelings can sometimes have. I don't think we are there
yet quite, but it is starting the beginning of that so early that it worries me
and I want to crack down on it. I have talked with all the girls involved
and am trying to work with them to acknowledge each other's feelings and build
empathy, as well as come up with solutions. I also don't think its
particularly healthy to be putting that much social power and pressure on such a
little girl as Kate. .."
