Hello Kitty Toes to go to Florida

Off she goes

I dropped them off at the airport, and Cookie was so excited with her backpack and her sense of adventure. I hugged her and said I loved her, and watched her go so sure of herself, venturing into the world of unknown happiness. I miss her already. She looked so grown up, not looking back and not wanting to cry (unlike me).

Miami

Cookie and Mom are going to Miami today, and I'm driving them to the airport. She's so excited, and I'm so happy for her. I wish I could be there, but I have a final tomorrow.

I bought them a package for snorkeling, which I coerced my mom into doing (I hope she goes). Having Cookie anywhere new (and near the water) stresses me out, and it kills me that I can't go. Mom doesn't know how to swim, so... I'm getting ahead of myself. They'll be fine. And have tons of fun. Cookie will come back nearly black, and I got her the cutest outfits so she can charm the Florida Keys.

Mom told me that Cookie said she'll miss me while she's gone. =] I melt every time. I'll miss you too, love. See you soon.

Sushi Monster

Nelaine took Cookie to eat sushi the other day, and she ate $20 worth of it. It makes me happy when she eats a lot. =] Here's a picture:
