Breakfast: Jason made omelettes for Phyllis and I with onions, broccoli and celery in them. Mine had no cheese. Dai, Jason and Cress had breakfast burritos.
Lunch: Dai and I ate at Boiling Crab for her "video lunch" as we are calling it. In 5th grade they see a video at school on puberty and get a little goody pack of pads and a calendar. They are advised they should talk to their parents, too. They get a little card that says how parents might choose to talk to their kids, reminding them that they are excellent resources for their kids. One of the suggestions was a meal out to discuss it - and Dai wrote me a little letter asking for said meal. She only wanted me and I asked if she had specific questions, or just generally wanted to tell me about the video. She said she had specific questions. Her question? Really, just when did I start because they said often girls start about the same age as their mothers. But, she was remarkably grown up every time she said "period." Ay, ay, ay! We plan to do that with each girl after what they dubbed at school "The Video of Doom." Jason took Phyllis and Cress to Taco Bell after volleyball.
Dinner: Steak and asparagus and pinto beans. We also ate homemade peanut butter popcorn and ate it while we watched a TV show right before bed. I love that stuff!
