The Kindergarten Queen

Cassidee is in Kindergarten this year and is loving it. She has a fabulous teacher too.
Cassee passed her goal of 30 sight words a few weeks ago. She's learning so much and loves to read with me.
Her hearing greatly improved due to the little surgery she had done last year. Her speech has improved a lot too.
A couple months ago it was Cassee's week at school to be spotlighted in her class.
Her teacher sent home a poster that we were supposed to color and fill out. Some of the sections were name, family, favorite color, favorite food, etc.
Then at the bottom it asked for what she wanted to be when she grew up. I asked Cassidee that question and she confidently said, "Queen". I said ok and wrote that down on her poster. I thought that was a typical answer for a 5 year old.
A few days later I went to the school and chatted with her teacher. She commented that all the girls that had been spotlighted up until then had all said they wanted to be a "Princess". Cassee was the first to say Queen.
What a clever little girl! Go straight to the top!!
