Let's Dance

Mia's Recital - Mexican Hat Dance

This is a new dance that the girls are learning and it is by far the most complicated dance so far.  Nonetheless, they did a great job...especially Mia our DANCE STAR!

 

And yes, the fast step is Mia's favorite part of this dance!

Sebastian in Action!

 

So, Sebastian (#2 in the orange jersey) doesn't actually make contact with the ball in this clip but truly he is getting into the game now and has actually dribbled the ball, we've just never captured it on video.  No matter what, he's our SOCCER STAR!

And yes, the boy in the #6 orange jersey is gigantic compared to Sebastian and everyone else on the team, he's also 6 already and has giants for parents.

Mia's State Fair Performances

Mia did a great job at her state fair performances but there were so many kids crowded onto the stage that it was hard to get good video of it  :o(

 

She's still our STAR though!

Pretty Good for 3

So Mia has been writing her name for quite a while now.

But recently, she told me that she had written a note for me.  I expected a picture but she gave me this. She figured out how to spell 'mom' all on her own.  She sounded it out and wrote it down

This morning Mia was practicing writing and asked what the first letter in Pops' name is.  I told her 'P' and she promptly wrote his name down.  Watch out world!  Here comes Mia!

Say What?

So I dropped Sebastian off at school this morning and since we got there a little early Mia and I sat with him until the bell rang.  Well, in that time, a little girl named Morgan came running up to Sebastian with a grin from ear to ear and promptly told Sebastian that she was going to chase him at recess later that day.  She giggled and ran off.   I looked at Sebastian and asked him what that was all about.  He said that there's a group of girls called "the kissing girls" that chase him and his friend Tyler at recess.  I asked him if he's ever gotten caught and his response was "Yuck! No way Jose!  I'm too fast for those girls, they're never gonna catch me!"   This is only the second week of school, lord have mercy! 

 

I'm going to invest in some good running shoes!
