fleaCasper brought a Batman chapter book home from the school library this week, and is voluntarily reading it, out loud, to herself. She gets a lot of the words wrong, so she's missing or mis-perceiving maybe half the content, but she's reading for fun!
She can also, I discovered as a result of her homework on Tuesday, add and subtract 3-digit numbers with carrying. She made some arithmetic mistakes, but was absolutely clear on the concept.
I had the amusing experience of walking to the bank this morning with more than $1200 in cash in my purse (Girl Scout cookie deposits.) I was happily not mugged on the way. They have a great machine that counts the bills, and I was very proud that my count matched theirs perfectly.

Also, my cookie source promised me on Saturday that my cookies would be at church on Sunday, but when I got there, were there any cookies? No there were not. I am living the life of the sorely deprived.
