Kate was asked to sing a solo in her music program at school. We got there later than I had wanted to, so we had to sit in the back. I was in the aisle chair and thought that was perfect because the microphone was set up right in front of the aisle. So, right before her song I got my camera all zoomed in on the microphone and ready for her. Then, all of a sudden, I heard her singing from somewhere else. There was another microphone set up opposite the first microphone. And, since my little Kate is so litte, I couldn't see her at all!

Someone said it was Maryanne's, which couldn't have been true because it was a size 8. It wasn't her color anyway ... So I tossed it in the donate pile. (In hind sight, I now think my mom gave it to Maryanne for Christmas, and she said that she wasn't sure what size to get for Maryanne. Whoops on my part.) That's when Adam exclaimed that he wanted a pink shirt. Other children chimed in with, "It is his color." (Referring to his Dressing Your Truth type.) Adam bolted toward the donate pile and seized the shirt, promptly pulling it over his head and the collared shirt he had on. (Later he removed the collared shirt, after much cajoling from ...
