This Girl

does not make me think Ballerina... and I don't think that it's just because I'm not really the ballerina type.

Ballerina is what she is all about. You should see her moves!
She wants to be a ballerina for Halloween AND she wants to have a ballerina birthday party.

Not Princess, not Fairy - Ballerina...

Time for a football update.

It's a busy season and we don't see much of Galen so we sneak Daddy time any chance we get.

Galen had the girls come up to hang out with him during a freshman game. They always have fun up at the school with Daddy. Especially when it includes Gator rides. (They really were more thrilled then they look).

Friday nights have been going all right for the Redhawks. They are 2-2. Not so bad for their first year playing varsity. Hopefully they'll keep adding to the win column. We are having great fun going to the games to cheer them on.


I do try to get some good pictures at the games but so far it's been a bust. Good thing we have at least 6 more games! I WILL get some good ones... I hope.

Let me introduce you

To the two newest Super Hero's!

There's "Super Mai"
Who with lightening fast speed will gladly save you.
And her little sister "Super Ava"

Who prefers to not show her face...

Super Mai's response when you thank her for saving you...
"My pleasure"
(Think possibly she has been to Chick-fil-a too much?)
Thank you Grandma Z for turning ordinary into extraordinary!
For those of you who have ever tried to photograph a super hero toddler it is a tricky job...

Crazy or Confused?

So, tonight I was packing Mai's lunch for tomorrow and she has been disturbed that her name on her lunch box is spelled Mai - crazy I know - what was I thinking?

Getting quickly irritated she told me -"but mom that's not how you spell me" Trying to not set her off I asked her to tell me how it's spelled. She started to write it in the air (starting with A of course). I stopped her and said don't write it just say how it's spelled. Her answer was "Mai". So then looking at her lunch box I asked innocently "and what does this say"?

Her response? Shouldn't be documented. We'll just say it was ugly and lasted for a good hour and a half... After what seemed like forever we finally got her reasonably calm and to the bath- almost. She quickly fell apart again when she saw her towel hanging there with her name spelled "Mai".

She insists it's not right and I can't figure out why... Is she really confused for some reason? Is she just being Mai? Is she wanting control? Who ever thought 3 little letters could cause so much trouble. Maybe we better call her Mailand all the time.

This is from today - she wasn't even "Aim" instead "ima"

question her at your own risk...

Milestones.

Today was Mai's first Day of preschool. She was so excited!

She kept making sure that I would be leaving... I don't think because she was concerned about it - I think she is just really ready to be big.
I don't know about you - but the teacher side of me thinks this face looks like trouble.

When I picked her up I tried to get a picture of her and her teacher Ms. Dawn. Mai was not having it- I tried to sneak one when she gave her a good bye hug. Documented - but I'll be trying again.



Her update: "I had a lot of fun". "My favorite part was playing outside". I asked if she learned anything new - her answer, "oh yes" when I asked what - "things". Nice.
