Dear Panther,

Wow! You're going to be a Cheerleader! Such good news! Of course I'll make your costume! I'm proud to. During the Olympics you wanted to be an ice skater, remember? I think you were attracted to the costumes then.

This afternoon I'll go to the fabric store and check out patterns for Cats. Is your heart set on Spandex? Have you gained any weight? I was thinking of midriff, panties, and little skirt rather than an all-in-one dress. What do you think?

XOXO,
Mom
