Music Program

Isabel had a very cute music program at school last night. Ansel's favorite song was "How much is that doggie in the window." Joseph's and my favorite was an animal song that a few kids had solos in which they made animal sounds. When the kids did the donkey and pig sounds, all the kids laughed so hard that they came in late on the next line they were supposed to sing. It was so funny. Isabel's favorite song was "Engine #9."

Isabel told us we were supposed to look our best. I thought it was just her, but at the last minute she said our whole family was supposed to look our best. I don't particularly like dressing up and was still going to go pretty casual. That is until I saw Joseph putting on his suit! Ansel wore his nice vest and tie. So, I went ahead and dressed up also. As the evening went on and I felt silly that my whole family was overdressed, I started to think about Isabel and what she might have been thinking. I began to feel glad that we dressed our best to see Isabel in her first little choir concert. She knows that it was important to us and if she told us to look our best, we certainly would. I can't believe that she is almost done with her first year of kindergarten!!!

Lincoln at 16 months

Lincoln is such a character lately. He seems so grown up. He will get involved with the other kids more and he LOVES doing things to attract attention. He throw his arms up and spin around. He falls down and looks to laugh with me about it. He loves to drink water out of a straw. He was doing it yesturday and after every sip he smiled so big or laughed at me to show me how much he loves it. He also LOVES to play outside. He'll run around and try to join in what Isabel and Ansel are doing. He favorite thing to do in the backyard is throw rock or anything really down our window well. He also likes to walk to our mailbox at the corner.

One problem we are having is that he won't eat anything. Right now he just refused to eat yogurt, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, cereal and chicken nuggets. These are his staples....pretty much the only things he ever eats. So...we'll see maybe he really isn't hungry?? hm....I doubt it.
