Claudia asked Zainab to go to Quassy with her tomorrow. We have a season pass and she is allowed to bring a "buddy". Zainab seems to be pretty cool.

Some things going on for Claudia:

1. She is starting to swim. She puts her head under and swims a few feet. She likes her swimming class.

2. She had a piano lesson with Miss Eileen.

3. We heard kindergarten classes next year might be very small--under 15. Waiting to see where she gets placed.

4. She is dancing really well. Her performance is in a few weeks.

5. We have tried to get her to do "big girl" stuff at bedtime. As many of you know, she is very easy to put to bed, except we need to stay with her for 5-10 minutes while she falls asleep. We almost got her to use a flashlight instead. Yes, we put Molly down and leave the room.

6. She got a new bike.

7. Claudia likes American Idol a lot. She is a Crystal fan now. So does Molly. Kasey likes Lee. I'd be happy if they stopped singing.
