Hattie's Whale

Hattie came home from Wee Care today with an award!

It reads, "The Apple Award Goes To Hattie Jo for cutting out her whale on the lines."

This really does mean something to me as I had so much trouble getting Hattie to want to use scissors. After a particularly trying day at Wee Care that involved crying and not getting to do some of the other fun activities because she wouldn't try to cut out her project, I bought "spring back" scissors. I don't know what they are actually called, but they worked. They have a little spring that you can set so the scissors automatically open after they are squeezed shut to cut. That finally helped Hattie to figure out what to do and now she cuts like a pro!

Congratulations, Hattie!
