The "patteren" is broken!

So the past couple of weeks Trevian has been trying not to be sick...she's put up a valiant effort. But she's woken up in the middle of the night dry heaving a few times in the past two weeks. Well this week it finally hit and she spent a better part of the week doing some impressive purging.

Well, my little kindergartner turned first grader spent the better part of the school year learning about patterns, or as Trevian pronounces it, "patterens." She is an expert at AB patterns and all sorts of variations of the kindergarten pattern system.

This morning Trevian came out of her bedroom with a BIG smile on her face. She said "mom, I'm all better! Know how I know?"

"How?" I asked her.

"Because of the patteren! Throw up. No throw up. Throw up. No throw up. Now today it has been TWO no throw ups! The patteren is broken. And I'm better!"

Way to apply your kindergarten education to a real world setting sweetie! Forget red squares and blue circles...we've got our own "patteren" education at home. And this girl has finally broken the patteren! Much to my relief.
