Community Helpers

I found this post in my archives but never posted it so I thought I would now. Just an example of Katherine's conversations as an almost 3 year old. It was written January 21.

This month at school Katherine is learning about community helpers. They are having different people come and speak to them about what they do. Today they had a marine come. Here is our conversation.

Me: Katherine, did you have someone special come to your school today?
K: yes, a meeen. (Marine)
What was he wearing?
K: a uform
Me: what color was it?
K: black
Me: Did he wear a hat?
K: No, he had a white hat on the bench. One kid put it on and it fit. Some kids clapped and others laughed that they were clapping.
Me: What else do you remember about the marine?
K: He was big, big, big. (apparently he was 6'8")

Then I asked her what else she did at school and if she sang any songs. Usually she can't remember but today she sang her song about "Red".
