Chris noticed that Kate's interest in threading, beading, and all things fine-motor-control related has recently picked up speed and thought Kate might enjoy making her own beaded jewelry, like her cousin Kes in Tucson.
We have a bead store near our house, and when I asked Kate if she would be interested in going there, the answer was, "YES! YES! YES!" as she ran screaming towards the door.
The first thing Kate wanted to make was a bracelet for her cousins, but then decided it was more prudent to practice on a few creations for herself first. I was impressed by how long Kate sat still and concentrated on getting the small beads onto the thread. By the third piece of jewelry an hour or so later, Kate was wasted. She sighed, "This is hard."
Kate's creations: a necklace and a bracelet.
Kate modeling her wares. This is her demure, "princess" face.
"Take another one, Momma!" This is Kate's demonic face.
"One more, Momma!" This is Kate's fugu face.
A great way to blow off steam is modern dance.
The video of the day -- Kate cracking herself (and me) up:
And finally, Kate and Appa:
Kate "helping" Chris meet his crushing deadline.

Beautiful jewelry, she could add to her college fund selling them at Venice Beach.
