Growing up...

So this fall has brought a few changes here.  I have had to change the way I talk to my students.  I have to keep reminding myself that when I talk about Kelsey, I have to label her as a Kinder student! I keep messing up and my students are always correcting me.  It is now October and I have completely forgotten to post a few pictures.

Kelsey officially started dance classes.  She is taking a ballet/tap class.  She was NOT excited about tap to the point she almost refused to take dance classes if tap was involved.  If took a few moments of Angelina Ballerina tap dancing to convince her to try it.  Now she is hooked! Score for mom and dad that we found her a dance class for only $12/month!

 

Cadie....what to say about Cadie.... her goal in life I have determined is to push the limits.  She is bound and determined to see just how far she can go and how much hair she can make her father lose. She is a ball of energy with no fear! Even her teacher this past week mentioned just how stubborn she can get when she puts her mind to it.  She screamed for nearly 2 hours yesterday as I tried to break her of the pacifier habit.  She only gets it in bed and I thought I could break the habit...boy was I wrong! This is what I found a few days ago as we were driving home....the sun was "attacking her" she says....

 

Here is her refusal to sleep alone...good thing her GPa was there to help out.

 

I also posted a new post about my latest Young Living essential oil shipment here.

 

 

 

Dancing to Clean

So I have come to realize that everyday I learn a new piece of Kelsey's personality. Today, I realized that she has been around her Aunt Ann way too much. While in her crib for nap/quiet time, I walk by her door and see her wiping and cleaning every bar of her crib. Ok, I can understand if it happened just once for a few minutes but oh no...this was the second time I have seen her do it and she spends at least 15 minutes cleaning! She had to make sure every bar of her bed was cleaned with her blanket.

Kelsey loves to dance. She also loves cartoon intro songs...we really like Mickey Mouse Clubhouse intro and the Carebear intro. When she hears the beginning of the songs, she jumps up and starts bouncing like a rabbit and shaking her head. Of course, that is after she determines what TV or cd player has the song on. She can listen and dance to intro songs over and over....and over and over....get the picture??

So what do these two pieces of her personality have with each other? This morning while having a snack, a commercial came on for Stanley Steamers carpet cleaner. She just about threw down her yogurt and began to dance around wit hall her might! Yes, that is my child...the dancer to cleaning music!
