My photo downloader thingy is broken, and I just realized that although I have tons of photos of Kooka, I have not given her her fair share of props as far as the writing goes.
So here is a quick Kooka update:
• According to her teacher's conference report, she is a "bright star in the class room." She has tons of friends, (both 2nd and 3rd graders - she's in a mixed classroom), and is reading and performing math above grade level. In her free time she likes to read the dictionary, to learn "more intriguing words."
• She has become a crazy inventor. With her box full of supplies, she is always creating something. This week is was glove with a spoon for each finger, which allows the wearer to either scrape the cake batter from a bowl more efficiently, or feed five American Girl dolls at once - take your pick.
• She went to help teach a chess class last week, and loved it.
• She is learning to play the marimba in music class.
• She is thrilled at the prospect of becoming a big sister. She sings to baby Yoda all of the time, and is keeping her fingers crossed for a girl (as long as the new baby doesn't horn in on her girl nights with mom).
• One of her goldfish, Minnow just died.
• She is very excited about our upcoming roadtrip, and the fact that she may get to see a real spy museum!
• She just finished reading The Giggler Treatment and book 1 in the Sister's Grimm series.
• She provided all of the artwork for our Valentine this year - and even compared to her brother, this kid can hold her own with a set of Crayolas.

I love reading all about Kooka. LOVED your artwork and beautiful pictures on the Valentine I received. I'm glad you have so many fun things going on at school and with all your many hobbies. Just think about those gloves with all the spoons and a big dish of ice cream!
