I Like Bowling

Cassandra has decided that she likes bowling...at least on the Wii.  She can't even "throw" the ball without help but she likes the game.  I think it makes her feel like she is all grown up.  She doesn't feel that us helping her makes her a baby so I'll take it while I can.

We Are Not Pleased

On occasion, the Empress does express her disappointment with the staff.  Thankfully, at this time this is limited to faces like this, no tantrums yet, and we are hoping this continues until 18 years old but are not holding our breath.

Stealing Mommy's Hat Again

Cassandra loves to steal our hats and shoes.  Here she is at it again.

Thanksgiving At Our House

Cassandra was given the opportunity to play hostess for Thanksgiving today.  We had all the family that was in town over for dinner.

For Cassandra, the sweet potatoes were a big hit.  Note that she eats them boiled with no butter, sugar, or marshmallows added.  The bread was good (Mommy made it from scratch) and the turkey was alright but the sweet potatoes were the best.

Thanksgiving Cookies

What Thanksgiving is complete without cookies?  These are butter cookies made with a cookie press.  Daddy loves this kind of cookie...the sugar sprinkles are an added bonus.

Here is a live action of Cassandra decorating cookies.  She still is working on remembering not to play with her food...before or after it is cooked.

Train Broken

On the way to the store this morning, we saw a crew working on the signals next to the train tracks.  We explained to Cassandra that they were "working on the tracks."  She repeated this several times over the course of the day.  Before dinner, a light suddenly went off.  "Fixing tracks.  Train broken."  I'm sometimes rather amazed by the insights she has.

LEGO Therapy With Daddy

Cassandra is feeling much better after a few days of antibiotics.  She decided she felt well enough to help Daddy with his Legos.  She helped put together the "Mallium Falcon."  Might be another year or two before she gets the name completely right.  It's alright.  She loves her Aunt Chril (Cheryl) and can't get her name quite right either.
