Girl Party

Cassie and I had a Girl Party tonight. This means we each are bathed/showered and in our jammies early in the evening, we make Oreo Cookie drinks, and we hop onto Cassie's bed and read lots of books. But tonight was slightly different. I was too tired to mess with a blender to make cookie drinks so instead we had chocolate ice cream topped with chow mein noodles. And Cassie preferred to practice her handwriting instead of reading 10 books or so. (But we still read three books at bedtime: nursery rhymes, Day Out with Daddy, and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.) Eli kept us company the entire time, and as usual he slept at the foot of her bed.

Cassie is very proud that she can spell some words. She recites for me, "Mommy! I can spell cat, c-a-t;, Mom, m-o-m;, Dad, a-d-a." ?!

I also measured Cassie tonight. Two nights ago when I returned home from work I swear she was taller. Sure enough, she's sprouted another half an inch for a total height of 45.50 inches. Which now begs the question, will she still fit in all the school clothes I just bought three weeks ago?
