Cassidy had her first homework assignment tonight. It took us an hour to finish it. She had to write the letter ‘B b’ three times and color and cut out all the pictures on a page that started with the letter B and glue them to another page.

It’s funny how she kept getting the letter H and the letter B mixed up. We take for granted as adults this knowledge that is so challenging to a 5 year old. I’m going to try and find her some flash cards to help her learn the letters better.

So, from now on we will have homework every Monday and Wednesday night. I’m excited and a little put off at the same time. Hopefully she will get a better hang of it and it will start to go a little faster.

Cassidy had to have 5 immunizations shots today and a TB test. Poor thing.. She did okay till about shot three when she started to whimper, shot four she started to cry and by shot five she was REALLY upset. It took about 30 seconds total to get them all done. I have to give credit to the nurse, she got it done quickly.

Now she’s out on the couch sleeping. She has a bit of a fever which the nurse said to expect because of the Chicken Pox vaccination.

*UGH* I spent all day yesterday dealing with LICE!!!! Cassidy had a bad case of it. :< I spent the day shampooing, combing, washing and vacuuming. It was horrible! Thank GOD that Ben and I have not managed to pick up the nasty little parasite. The actual living lice was full grown so that means that she's had it for at least 10 days. Troy called and told me that she had it and that he was getting rid of it but he must have let a few nits get by because she STILL had them.

They are all gone now. For those of you who don’t know the nit is the egg and the louse (singular for lice) is about the size of a small grain of rice. Here are some pics for those parents of you that have never had to deal with these little gems before.
