November 9. Kaity is better!

Saturday:  YAY! Kaity feels much better today. We had such a nice time at my house--nothing phenomenal occurred; but it was just a lovely, very relaxing time together. I am so thankful for it.

I remembered that a few weeks ago when my brother David was here from Florida, we cleaned out my outdoor shed and inside one of the bins I hadn't looked in for 12 years were my school yearbooks--going back as far as the 8th grade! I showed Kaity pictures of myself (with a ridiculous haircut my mom forced upon me) and some of my best friends all the way through high school. Kaity cracked up when I would point to a picture of fellows I used to have crushes on!

We also played many games of "Tetra Tower" ... only after our first game, we re-invented the rules and made it more interesting to play. We even used a timer to see how quickly we could assemble our towers.

We also had a contest of who could build the most interesting looking building ...

This first one is Kaity's creation ...

This one is mine. It took us awhile to use all our blocks--our towers kept falling down--but we weren't timing our constructions; we were just seeing who could make the most interesting-looking structure. Naturally, Kaity voted that she WON!

And THEN, believe it or not ... Kaity suggested we get the PlayDoh out and mess around with it. So we did!

I had some very OLD cans of PlayDoh as well as about a half dozen brand new ones. We only played with the older PlayDoh as we were "experimenting" on mixing colors. We had so much fun! This is the kind of time I enjoy best with Kaity. I like just sitting at a table doing goofy things and having conversations. I love talking with and listening to Kaity. When I remembered that the next day was Sunday, I told Kaity that Sundays are my favorite day. She asked me what we would be learning about tomorrow, so I briefly told her about King Solomon and his writings in Ecclesiastes. It was a nice conversation. I forgot to tell her that Ecclesiastes was (almost) her Grandpa Pahman's favorite book of the Bible. Well, I can always tell her another time.

We ended up mixing the PlayDoh into three batches that Kaity took home with her in ziplock bags. One mixed into kind of a brownish color; another was a pretty unique blue; and the last was ... ??? I totally forget!

I love you Kaity! Thanks for spending time with me today!
