Books

C5 has been writing books. Books, books, and more books. Books about dogs and princessess. Most of them I throw away. Or stuff in her art drawer upstairs. But I thought I'd post her most recent here.


The New Princess Allyat! Book 2


The days are passing. Soon the book will be done.


Once upon a time, A long time ago, there was a princess. Her name was Allyat. Chapter 1 Songs


Allyat love to play. Very Much! The happy days are passing the happy days by.


The days were passing. Always days pass.


Passing days away away .... Long ago sang Allyat. (Singing songs makes you happy)


Chapter 2 A new name. Singing is Fun.


Allyat shortened her name to: Ally. Oh how Allyat loved the name Ally! Oh How!


Chapter 3 Loving


Allyat was faling in love with Prince Bush. Yay! She got to marry him!


She loved him for the rest of her life. He loved her for the rest of his life. The end.


P.S. That's what love is all about.


Love is Nice. To learn more, please look in Fort ((????))

The ball

Last Sunday, C5 asked if we could deliver some notes to her friends on the way to the library. I said sure, and we stopped at her friend's house. While there, C5 told me it was an invitation to a ball. So I looked at the note, and it was an invitation to a ball. At our house. On Saturday.

What??

Right, just in case you were wondering how C5 could have a BALL where members of the opposite sex might dance together, let me add there was also a picture of a boy, crying, with a big X through him and the caption "NO BOYS!"

So, a girls-only ball. Only two girls (and their sisters) invited. One of which declined. So, we invited a few more girls. As it turned out it was only 6 girls, one of whom had to leave after about 30 minutes because of a fever & lethargy. Down to 5 girls.

But, here is some dancing.


The party was a relaxed success.

Making Faces

Fairies

So, C40 showed the girls a video of a little girl searching for fairies and talking about her scientific methods and hypothosis.

C5 and Q3 went crazy. They gathered together all their fairy books (all four of them) and a couple of fairy-catching container and a fairy-catching net and headed outside to rustle through the bushes.

They consulted the fairy books to figure out what to do.







C5 thought we would would definitely find evidence of fairies. Q3, a little more pragmatic, thought that the video was just pretend, and that fairies were make believe, but she was game to go through the bushes anyway.



We never found a fairy this afternoon, but we did have fun looking.

Another tooth lost today

This one involved Q3's head hitting C5's mouth during a little tussle. And the tooth ... flinging out and away.

C40 did find the tooth -- man, those baby teeth are little!!

C5 and I had some discussion about where the tooth should be put so the tooth fairy could find it. The tooth fairy left her golden dollar in a ramekin on the dining room table last time. So when C5 told me it should go under her pillow I told her I thought the tooth fairy might not be able to find it, since clearly she was partial to the dining room table. We compromised and she put the tooth in a ziplock containor on her bedside table, where the tooth fairy, I am sure, will leave another golden dollar.

rain rain rain

The rain this week did not keep C5 & Q3 from going outside. They spent a half hour outside in the rain under umbrellas, in rain jackets, just walking around, running up and down the sidewalks and into the back yard.

And look, there is C5 with the pink raincoat on that we had to physically put on her last fall. She even put that on this week intentionally ... no prompting from me or C40. Crazy.
