HGH

Elli has been doping. There is no other possible explanation. 


I marked the growth chart with her 3.5 year old height because tomorrow she officially three and a half. That mark went right beside Brady's. Except one difference, it was Brady's FOUR and a half year old height. Elli has four inches on 3.5 yo Brady!!!!  That is crazy talk y'all. 

My baby is no baby.

On the stage

I really think my girls' happy place is on the stage. The older girls both had a chance recently to perform at school. And with both girls, they were chosen to have a special part in the performance.

For Reese, all the first grade had a resident artist come in and teach African Dance. They performed what they learned for the whole school. The first video is the part where the class danced as a whole. The second video is the part where kids got to dance in small groups and do dances they made up themselves. Reese was chosen to be the soloist. She took her choreography seriously. I was a proud momma in the back row that day!


 The girls are really at an amazing school this year. They are doing so many neat events. Recently, they had international day where each cluster of classrooms transformed into a country then students flew around the world (or school) and experienced the culture. Brady's area was Russia. Her class learned a dance and performed it for the students. My little babushka made me so proud!


Orthnernisms from a higher power

Elli comes running into the room that her mom and dad are in. Grabbing her bottom she says "Ouch it hurts."

I say "it hurts?".  Her response is "yea, because Jesus made it too much!"As I hold back my giggles, "Jesus made too much?". Very seriously, Elli looks at me and states "Yes, Jesus made me too much bottom!"

There you have it folks! I couldn't make this stuff up!
