Katherine is going to Abma’s Farm tomorrow on her first field trip. As she said at dinner tonight, it is “the first field trip of her life.” I’m not sure what she is more excited to do- take the bus, go on a hay ride, choose a pumpkin or see the animals. She has been counting down the days since the start of the week. And she has been talking non-stop about all the fun she is anticipating.

And then came the best part. Tonight Katherine chose The Cow Loves Cookies as our before bed read aloud. “Because we’re going to a farm on our field trip!” she said. She is celebrating life through her book choices. It really doesn’t get much better than that.
