And that was pretty much how the day went. Children excited to see Kate, and Kate looking just as enthused to be meeting them. She was in Oxford today to highlight her charity, The Art Room. She visited the primary school Rose Hill and Oxford Spires Academy. Again, loads and loads of pictures of Kate with the children. Kate was wearing an Orla Kiely dress that was yet another substantial and flattering choice for her. I am just going to refer you all to What Kate Wore for some really fun insight on the designer and her links with Kate's charities.
Kate also wore her Aquatalia's from her very exciting official visit to Anglesey that kicked off the pre-wedding tour of the United Kingdom.
I love this photo here, where the children are holding up a poster board or something with different photos of Kate pasted to it from her February 8th engagement. I don't really understand the thought process, "look at pictures of yourself!" but is is very cute.
Kate received a number of different flower arrangements between the two schools--all so pretty and great splashes of color against her brown and neutral palate. Flowers are such an awesome addition to a camera situation...
The front page news item of the day, however, proved to be the name of Kate's puppy! She told one of the children the dog's name is Lupo, which apparently is Italian for wolf. I figured it couldn't have been Charlie... Kate wore a specially designed apron with "Miss Catherine" printed on the front to work on crafts with a number of the children.
I fairly overdosed on the shots of Kate interacting with the children. They were all so sweet and Kate clearly enjoys the time with them. Pauline read my mind last week in the blog comments when she wrote the sooner William and Kate have a little one of their own the better. I have to agree. Kate looks a natural.
This might be the best picture of the day, so we will close with it. Kate and the Queen up next to get March off to a great start!
