Sweet Cordelia has had something of a rough time adjusting to first grade; there are only 5 girls in her class and the others "already paired up," she told me one night, as I tried not to cry. She's in the odd position of being both orders of magnitude smarter than her classmates, but much less mature socially. She's coming along, though — she is now part of a Cardinal Montessori Girl Scout troop, which she absolutely LOVES. Last night, her friend Elena had her 8th birthday party — a slumber party! Or, a "spajama party," as she adorably called it.
She was extremely nervous about sleeping over — even though there was a "sleepover badge" to be had — so we made sure she knew she could call us ANYTIME and we'd be there to get her. But she was a trooper and stayed all night!
She didn't get to sleep until 1:30, though. So today there was much drama, then some histrionics, then some melodrama, and many many tears, and finally she fell asleep around 6:00. Elena's mom sent me these cute pictures from the party…clearly, she's a brave mama!

This is the cutest! She certainly looks like she's having a wonderful time. Dad used to refer to these parties as "stay overs" because there never was much sleep involved. And there was always a price to pay the next day! I'm happy she was included and participated. Girlfriends are important. xoxox
Also, she is so beautiful. Next post I want to see is Emma's haircut!
Oh that little lady. She is adorable. You all are troopers!
