She catches on to everything super fast and her concentration is so sharp. The day we got home from the museum, she made a 3D character from a character she made up in a story she and her friends wrote on the bus. She found dice and made them into feet so it would stand up, which was so clever. But it\u2019s not just this one burst of creativity. She\u2019s making something super awesome every week for sure, sometimes more often. I\u2019m continually blown away by her \u201cinventions.\u201d The recycle bin in our pantry is her favorite toy, along with Jon\u2019s invention kit. I love when I see her digging through them, because I know she\u2019s about to make something so cool! I\u2019ll try to take more pictures, there\u2019s just so many. Right now we have a covered wagon with a horse in our kitchen, an apple cleaning station for grocery stores to check, clean and place apples, a model of the Titanic made out of card board and toilet paper rolls\u2014seriously you name it, Anna Kate can build it. <\/p>\n<p>Love your unique creativity, Anna Kate! Keep doing your thing. No one does it better!
