Big Week For Payton

This week has been a whirlwind for Payton, and it isn't over yet! Started on Sunday with Halloween, which everyone in our house loves. Wednesday was her 6th birthday! It seems hard to believe that she is 6! On Tuesday night before she went to bed I told her all about the night before she was born and the day she was born (without all the gory details that is!). On Wednesday her good friend Caitlin came off the bus to play. Caitlin is the friend in Payton's class that is moving. So this was the last time they would get to play together after school. We then had the Korby clan over for dinner, cake and presents. What a wild night we had:) It was wonderful! Payton had a pile of presents to open, and of course a Barbie cake to eat.

Yesterday was Caitlin's last day of school (she left for CA today), and Payton came home saying that she was going to cry at school tomorrow because Caitlin wouldn't be there. I feel sad for her just thinking about it... I did volunteer in her class room this morning, and her teacher and I talked for a bit. Payton has been doing very good today at school, no crying! That may be because she has her birthday party tomorrow! My mom and I made a big castle out of boxes for the girls to play in tomorrow when they get here. It is turning out pretty good! So it seems that having a birthday the same week as your friend moves away is a good combo. Look for photos to come soon.

Today I am picking up Payton early from school for her 6 year well child check/ asthma recheck. I am crossing my fingers that we don't have to start a steroid. She seems to be doing pretty good now that the pneumonia has cleared. And she will also get the flu shot. Ever since she had her kindergarten shots (you parents out there know what I mean about that!) she has been just petrified of getting a shot. Lets hope the screaming only lasts a couple of minutes...
