A Little Recap of the Past Week

Lainey has choreographed her first dance. Involving friends Morgan and Ainsley, to Frozen's "Let it Go" for their elementary school's talent show. It is very specific and this is the most she's ever written. EVER. And bless her heart; this is only about the first ten seconds of the dance. At this rate, we'll have about a billion pages of choreography for their dance that will take place in May. At least she's not procrastinating!

And, here's my small friend Walker. He was "too tired to walk to the couch" so he was crawling on his belly and taking frequent breaks to melt down. Walkin' was just too much. (He desperately needed lunch…I kinda understand his dramatics.)

AND, Punky here won her second FISH award at school! (A FISH award is like a good citizenship award.) Neither Ben nor I could be there; thankfully, Bud and Yiyia were there to support her! And then her mom and dad sent dorky pictures to her teacher so she could show Lainey after the assembly. I LOVE her teacher. :)

By the way…the "Thanks for making good choices" line is a bit ironic. Lainey learned the "middle finger" at school recently. She said that showing your middle finger means "you don't like someone." I think she's done with the novelty of it…but who knows. She's also recently begun claiming that things "just pop" into her head and then "just pop" out of her mouth. Examples: "shut-up" (yes, she knows better), "fart market" (don't laugh - the idea just "popped" in her head), and she occasionally tests the waters with words like "butt" and "fart" (two of my least favorite words on the planet). However, I'm glad she's making good choices at school. :) 

It's our little joke that Daddy is the only one in the family to have "mad skills." Lainey was so excited to be invited into the club.

AND, this is what I did today! I substituted at Walker's preschool. I taught music! It was SO fun and my gosh, this little class (Walker's class) is just precious. They all gave me a hug before I left!!! SO sweet. Melted my heart!

And a little throwback… :) This was in December 2012…I think. :) Handsome, don't you think? I feel like they should be modeling in a L.L. Bean catalog. :) Love these two.
