Adorable Victoria

Victoria got a job with Franklin Covey shooting a traning video for them. She had a ton of fun doing it and made some new friends. All the kids were sick children in a hospital and got to play and wear Pj's...what a fun job

After a busy day I told the girls they needed to take a nap and rest. Victoria came out and told me she could not sleep, I told her to just lay down. I checked on her a little later and she had covered her cow with her baby blanket and then herself with her blanket. It was so cute I had to take a picture...they both have the same blanket that Mamaw made.

The Nutcracker

The girls had their Nutcracker Ballet Recital.

Last year Victoria stole the show and this year she was GREAT. We were so proud of her. She came out and ran around like a little mouse and then she was a beautiful snowflake. She was so beautiful.

Then we had Elizabeth the show stealer this year. She came out on stage as a mouse and just stood there watching all the other mice run around.

The soliders and Nutcracker came out and the Nutcracker tried to help her off stage but she just stood behind them as they danced. The mice came out again and died in the battle but not Elizabeth she again just watched everyone.

The curtain closed with her still standing on stage by herself.

She then came out as a snowflake. She did dance around the Snow Queen but when the snowflakes were just watching the Snow Queen dance, Elizabeth was dancing with her. All the snowflakes went to the side of the stage and sat down but Elizabeth stayed with the Snow Queen and danced with her...while the Snow Queen danced around her trying not to hit her. Elizabeth finally went to the side of the stage but stood for a little bit and then sat down. Everyone in the audience was laughing because she was so dang cute.

Daddy gave Victoria pink flowers and a Rapunzel doll and gave Elizabeth purple flowers and a Rapunzel doll. Mamaw also gave the girls flowers.

I guess both of my girls do not have stage fright but like to be the attention grabber. I cannot wait to see the Spring recital and how well Victoria does and hopefully Elizabeth will dance this time like she did at dress rehearsal. I love my life with my girls and they keep me going everyday with new and exciting adventures.

Victoria and the boys

Victoria is enjoying school so much. She has lerned so much in the little time that she has been there. She knows all her letters and sounds and has started to blend letters to make words. She has 1 more year of pre-school before she starts Kindergarten and she will be reading before that time. She when first started school she would come home and tell me of a friend of hers. I would always ask her about her and then one day I asked her teacher about the child and the teacher told me there was not a child in her class by that name. Come to find out, Victoria had made up an imaginary friend to cope with a new setting. I asked her about the friend and she told me the truth...a few days later she said that she gave her friend to someone else who needed her and along came McKay. She started talking about this boy in her class. She told me that she loved him and that she kissed him on the cheek. I was having a heart attack and knew that if I told her Dad he would die. I talked to her teachers and they told me that McKay would follow her around and that it was cute. All I was thinking was this is my 3 year old little girl and she likes a boy who also likes her. I finally had to tell her that she did not love him but liked him a lot and that she could not kiss him anymore but just hug him. I ended up writing his mom a note and she wrote me one too on the same day. We got together for a play date and they are a wonderful family. McKay has a sister who was born 1 month after Elizabeth. We got together and had a play date at the Children's Museum at The Gateway. They are great friends and like to be around each other.

McKay and Vitoria

Victoria, McKay, Savannah and Elizabeth

The day that we got together with them I was told by Victoria that McKay and Joe were fighting over her. I was dying inside. I guess both boys wanted to stand by her in line and were pushing each other out of the way. Victoria came home one day sad becuase McKay did not want to be her friend anylonger or play with her. Louis was upset that a little boy had hurt his little girl. I got to the bottom of it and what happened was...it was cold outside and when Victoria runs around on cold days she coughs A LOT, so McKay wanted to play tag and she told him that she could not run so he went and found someone else to play with. I just died because she is so silly. Victoria has 4 little boys that like her and like to play with her. She does play with 1 or 2 girls but mainly boys. Louis and I are in trouble...she is not even 4 yet and already boys are fighting over her...what are we going to do?
