The girls had an Egyptian dress up party.  They had a ball.  Nomi created her costume, pretty much by herself – showing that she still needs some basic understanding of dressmaking but otherwise she does very well.  Jess has borrowed a white dress of mine and added a Egyptian collar she created a few years ago.  Nomi comes alive with these types of activities.  Nomi stayed on for a sleepover – it is a rare treat for her to have a sleep over without her big sister!
