1) we went to a Halloween party on Sunday for which Nyssa dressed up as AbbyCaddaby of Sesame Street fame. Her costume was basically a blue dress with fairy wings, pink pig-tails, and a wand. As we were leaving I thought I would be a be a good and proactive father and tell Nyssa that I expected her to share the wand with her friends if they wanted to see it (I also told her not to wave it around and clobber people with it). Nyssa and Leila turned out to be the only girls at the party. That night as Nyssa was going to sleep she said to Katy, "No one wanted to play with my wand at the party. They just wanted to play with trucks." (I think she thinks that my judgment of what would happen, and her friends judgments of what was fun, were incorrect.)
2) Since I've been sick for like 2 weeks and Katy has had a cold all week, Katy's co-worker sent dinner home for us tonight. We had to pick it up from a separate co-worker of Katy's, which necessitated Katy going inside Susan's house. Nyssa decided she wanted to go in as well (but that she wouldn't knock on the door herself) and by the time I got to the door with Leila and Nyssa Katy was coming out. As we were not invited in, we turned to leave, which prompted a fit from Nyssa. She really wanted to go inside. She really didn't want to go home. She refused to get into the car seat. Nyssa was still crying as we were leaving town when she said, "Susan's hair used to be more curly."
