Bailey's First School Program

Tonight was Bailey's first Christmas school program. The Yellow (Pre-school) Room sang...or shouted...two songs; Jingle Bells and Santa Claus is Coming to Town. Both songs Bailey has been practicing a lot at home. It sure is funny to listen to her sing and miss some words here and there. Or even her interpretation. In Coming to Town, she sings "...good for Chris-sas sake" instead of "...good for goodness sake." We have caught some of these songs on our phone's voice recorder. And TJ had the big camcorder to get video of the class singing. The pictures are pretty much exactly how she looked the whole time. She didn't sing and just looked out in the audience, twiddling her sweater strings. It was quite a production and I was in tears from laughing at how some of them were shouting as well as seeing our baby girl up on stage! Even if she was just standing there. There will be many more to come...

Three Ring Circus

Today is Saturday and we had a great day. TJ didn't have to go in and round so he has a true weekend off. Bailey sure made us laugh today. Besides her almost constant singing, and going from one song to the next without pause, she said a few things that made us laugh out loud.

She asked for some milk her usual first way (until we ask her to say please and ask nicely): "I need some milk." She came over to me, sitting on the couch, and noticed my belly. Eighteen-weeks pregnant and I'm sticking out now. She came over, pulled up my shirt and said, "Cookie wants some milk," and then "Please, Cookie have some milk?" She nuzzled right up to my belly and said, "You want some milk, Cookie?" She was working us pretty good.

Tonight TJ was reading B her books at bedtime. The last one was called Three Ring Circus. He got to just about the second page, and in disgust, tossed it off the bed...and it hit the wall. He said the book didn't rhyme and was stupid...or something to that effect. B looked at the book on the floor, looked at TJ and said, "That book pissing you off, Daddy?" We were dying. Where did she learn that? We don't know. She said it a few more times and we were trying not to laugh in front of her. After Daddy went downstairs, she kept asking me, "Why Daddy throw that one book?" She is a nut, that Bailey. And we love her so very much.
