My addiction to my schnoolie continues. It turns out there are 3 or 4 other kids in my classroom whose parents have expressed concern about their child regressing, so it's not just me. Everyone thinks it is because of the new girl in my classroom - she cries a lot. I hope she feels better soon so we can all get back to normal again.

Mummy's trying a different tack: to try and wean me off my schnoolie, she's cut the end off one of them to see if I can be dissuaded from using it. We'll see if that works.

We had a nice day today. This morning we met Katie and Kate at Starbucks for coffee and some muffins. Katie told us that she's now a permanent employee of ABC 11, the local ABC affiliate. She was previously a summer intern but they like her work so much they're hiring her! Congratulations Katie! She's going to be the health reporter once the existing one moves up to anchoring one of the news broadcasts. So I guess that means she'll be on TV just about every day! Pretty cool.
