Penny finished up her class valentines last night. They're having an ice cream party in her class today, to go along with the exchanging of the valentines. Her teacher sent home a note asking if we wanted to send in some sugar-free ice cream for Penny, but the thing is, even sugar-free ice cream comes with enough carbs to require a shot (and some of them actually have more carbs than regular ice cream -- label-reading is a must!) so we told the teacher that, since a pre-party stick and post-party shot was going to have to happen anyway, she might as well be allowed to eat the same stuff the other kids were having.
Penny spent the whole morning vibrating with excitement. An ice cream party! And it's Friday, so she's having pizza for lunch! (I expect her sugars are going to run high tonight.)
And she doesn't know it yet, but I bought valentine gifts for her and Alex. Toys and clothes and -- oh, yes -- some candy.
Hopefully, that will assuage her frustration that the cookie bouquet I sent Matt (that arrived yesterday, despite my checking the "Do Not Deliver Early" box when I ordered them) is not for her consumption.
