Proud of my girl

I am very proud of the way Catherine handled the news yesterday.  She was very sad and disappointed in the morning, but she didn't let it ruin her day.  She wasn't grumpy and she didn't sit around and mope all day.  She found a great deal of comfort in cuddling Rosie, her favorite of the three cats, and she also found a great deal of comfort in going through her Halloween candy.  I know many who would be appalled I allowed her to be rather unfettered in that regard, but I am a firm believer in allowing oneself a treat.  We rarely have candy in this house, my children are very active, and Catherine definitely does not have a weight problem so a bunch of candy yesterday it was!  Anyway, she had a good day, and enjoyed the fact that her brothers were gone a great deal of the day and she got control of the remote!
