Good-Bye, Good-Bye

Parting is NOT such sweet sorrow.

When Kiah started Kindergarten she became great friends with a little girl named Kindall. We heard about her everyday after school. They did everything together at school. We got to meet Kindall at ab Open House at school. She was a sweet little girl. Then a few weeks later we found out that Kindall had moved. Kiah was sad.

Then recently Kiah had started to play with the little girl who lives across the street, Tiffany. They would play all afternoon and evening. Tiffany would even, on occasion, have dinner with us. Well, a little over a week ago we found out she was moving, and moving soon, meaning that weekend. So I let Kiah play with Tiffany pretty much as much as she wanted until she moved. They really lucked out and they canceled school (because of an Ice Storm) on Tiffany's last day. So they got to play all day together.

100 Days

Last week was the 100th day of school. Notice I did not say Kiah's 100th day of school. The girl has missed so much school this year. I have gotten letters home from the district about it, sheesh. Luckily, she is doing well. But whether you have attended all 100 days or not, there was still a little celebration.

Notice the dark circles under Kiah's eyes. She actually had been out sick the first part of the week because of the flu. She apparently threw-up allover the art room. oops!

I remember learning to count to 100 in Kindergarten. It was a big deal. So it is really exciting for me to see Kiah beginning the process.

Tubes

Kiah had tubes put in today. It went very well. She still had a lot of fluid in her ears. The doctor said it was VERY thick. Hopefully things will be a bit easier in the ear infection department for our family.

Ear infection

Kiah has 2 ear infections and a sinus infection. It is at least her 4th round of ear infections this year. But I think it might be more than that. She is going to get tubes later this month. She had to get x-rays to see if she needed her adnoids out too.

Raccoon

Kiah went to take the trash out today. She came back in stating the trash can was moving. So Gram grabbed the flashlight to go out and inspect. They found a Raccoon in the trash can! No wonder the can was moving
