...but it's really Kit Kittredge, American Girl! Today, as part of the CKS book fair, students could dress up as their favorite book character. Of course, Clare refused to identify one singular favorite. But Kit was deemed a great choice because Clare not only really enjoyed the books, but also had an appropriate ensemble. The hat was the key item, naturally, and for my money, this girl can wear hats! (Not everyone can, you know.) You can imagine how excited Clare was for this particular day. There was a moment of doubt when both of her (male) carpool mates got in the car and neither was dressed up...but she shook it off quickly. Later reports revealed that plenty of students, not to mention teachers, got into the spirit of the day. The highlight for Clare was getting to write in her "special notebook" all about Kit and why she chose her. The highlight for me is that Clare is enthusiastic about books and characters every day. May it always be so.

The girl CAN wear hats. I think my latest painting of her proves that, too. I'm envious; I'm one of those people who really can't wear hats. momster
