Katya's life lately has been all about her braces, her bed and her brother. We have been to the orthodontist six times in the last three weeks because of loose wires, a new palette expander and general check-ups. We have to return tomorrow because we cannot turn the mechanism that widens her palette. Steven was home last week for spring break. Katya loved having someone to play basketball with and I loved having him home! Steven painted her new room for her which thrilled her to no end. We bought Katya a canopy bed but finding the right comforter, etc. has been a real challenge. I tried to talk Katya into choosing the comforter and window treatments FIRST, making the decision about the paint color around the linens. No, no, no. She insisted on painting the room in her choice of blue and selecting the soft furnishings second. Sounds easy? It's not. We have scoured the internet and all the local department stores trying to find linens she likes AND that match the walls. Today, I pulled some boxes out of storage and found the Laura Ashley set in the photo above. I didn't even ask her if she liked them, I just put them on her bed and waited for the explosion. To my surprise, she likes the pattern and seems happy. If Katya is happy, I'm happy.
Katya started soccer on Thursday and had a tough workout. This is her first time playing soccer so we don't know if she will like it as well as basketball. Time will tell. We'll keep you posted.
