Questions

I like to ask questions. That is how you learn new things. I think my mama loves it when I ask her lots of questions. She doesn't always know the right answers though. Sometimes I ask her questions I already know the answer to just to make sure she is paying attention. Here are the questions I asked her while at the park this morning.

What animal is 66 cars tall?

What is skin made of?

Where are there lots of chinchillas?

What animal is 5 cars tall?

Can you tell me an item that is in the world?

What is 6 times 23?

Lions live in Aftrica. True or False?

Can I look up Matthew 6:9 in your Holy Bible?

Is the center of the earth solid?

What makes me special?

She didn't answer all my questions but she did know what makes me special.

Princess Kathryn

My name is Kathryn. I am Stephen's little sister.  I am four years old and I am a girl.
Every morning before I can play I have to get dressed. I like to pick out my own clothes. Sometimes my mom tries to get me to pick different clothes but I like the outfits I pick out better. This is what I wore today. It is all my flower clothes. My flower shirt, my f;ower pants and my flower skirt.I figured since they all have flowers on them they would look good together.

My are girl clothes. Boy clothes have stripes and balls on them. My brothers wear boy clothes, except for William. He is a baby so he wears baby clothes.

Once my mom took me clothes shopping with her. She was looking for a new skirt. I showed her the ones I liked best. The ones I picked out looked a lot more like princess clothes than the ones she picked. I picked the pretty pink and purple ones, and the ones that had flowers on them and looked like you could swirl in it. Mom let me pick one oufit for her to try one. I found a really pretty skirt that was bright pink and purple and had sparkles in it. Mom looked really pretty in it. But she didn't get it, instead she got a plain white one that only had a few flowers on it and wasn't sparkly at all.

44

My dad and I like to play games together. One game we are playing now is King's Quest. In King's Quest they use roman numerals. I thought they were cool so I learned how to read them. King's Quest 4 in roman numerals is KQ IV. Did you know my visual dictionary has a section called "Useful Data" that talks about roman numerals? It shows the roman numerals up to to 20 and then has some of the bigger numbers too. It also has a section on measurement conversions that is pretty interesting.

When my mom was making lunch I found some letters and made the roman nemural 44.

  I showed it to her and told her it was 44. She wasn't sure what I was talking about at first, then I told her it was roman numerals. She thought it was cool. I wanted to make some more roman numerals but we only had one X, L, I and V magnet.  I guess I will have to stick with arabic numbers. Mom says they are easier to read anyway.
