Kennedy decided to use the word "expand". So she stuffed a pillow under her dad's t-shirt and there you have it. I think that she does expand very well. 
She was very excited to wear her costume on the bus and everything. I was quite a site to see and she smiled the whole way.Later in the week, she had a cello lesson. She has been working on passing of her second Suzuki book. Her teacher has her play a recital when she gets to the end of a book. So she had to go back and review all the songs and be able to play them while she was being accompanied. That is a difficult thing to do when you are 7. She worked for almost 2 months and she finally got the okay for the recital on Wednesday. She gave us some options on days and times but our schedules didn't quite come together until Friday morning. She said she could do it that night. I said that would be alright. So here I went. It was crunch time. It was a good thing I had cleaned the carpet a couple of nights ago. So all I had to do was clean off the eternally cluttered counter tops, clean the kitchen, sweep the floor, vacuum, make sugar cookies with purple frosting, and a chocolate cake. My friend, Jean, helped me out and made the chocolate chip cookies. So Kennedy got off the bus at 4:30 and that is when she found out that she would be playing that night.
She did a great job. I was so proud of her. She stayed focused the whole time and that is not the easiest thing to do when you have an audience like she did.
Our good friends came and helped her to celebrate her accomplishment. She played for about 25 minutes and then we got to eat the treats. Everyone had a great time, especially Kennedy. It is really hard to be the middle girl. She doesn't get to shine as often as she should so it was good to see her get the spotlight that she deserved. Way to go Kennedy!
