Cora, with a bit of guidance from her Dad, created this Wingdingdilly creature for a school project. It's based on a children's book about a dog that desires to be lots of other animals.
Cora made hers with clay, a water bottle, and paper maiche.
The projects were on display Thursday at the school Open House, when we got to see lots of beautiful examples of what the second-graders are learning.
Here's Cora and Dr. Porter, who Cora has enjoyed so much this year. Dr. Porter loves cats and reading, so she and Cora have those things in common. They are standing in front of their stained-glass window art project I got to help with a few weeks ago.
On Friday, Violet had her 5-year-old well check appointment, where we had our suspicions confirmed: she is small for her age. At 38 1/4 inches tall, Violet is taller than 1% of five-year-old girls (and smaller than 99% of the same).
Dr. Brockett said there isn't anything to do or worry about, but we'll keep monitoring her growth each year. On the positive side, she grew two inches this past year (but dropped from 2nd percentile at 4, to 1st percentile now for heighth).
Weight-wise, Violet is 35.4 pounds, putting her in the 20th percentile.
She is a very healthy girl, and cooperated well for her exam, bravely taking her one shot.
