Conner's Connection

Conner does not talk words he just has his own language which really stuck out to me today. At the grocery store a ways away I hear this little girl yelling baby baby and she is pointing to Conner and he is just talking up a story to her while she is yelling at her mom like take me to this baby, because she was pushing her away. As we round a corner there is a 5-6 month old and he starts talking and this baby just goes crazy and then another baby and him start their own language conversation as I go to put things in the basket. Seeing these little ones communicate in their own way make me wonder if they still remember each other and how thin the veil is for them

Lost Tooth

Talmage lost a tooth at school and forgot to bring it home for a while. When he finally remembered to, he lost the tooth out of the envelope. When I went to tuck him in for the night he started to cry. I asked him what was wrong and he explained me that he had lost his tooth, but he couldn't find enough money to repay the tooth fairy for the lost tooth. I didn't quite understand until he showed me the envelope. He had gathered all the money that he could find and put it in the envelope and wrote her a note. He was really upset that the tooth fairy would be mad at him for the lost tooth because he didn't have a dollar to repay her. It just melted my heart to see him worry in such a grown up manner.

Dance Recital

Our pep talks worked this time, no fighting on the stage, yea!!! Adalee did really well with all of her dances and she didn't throw pom poms or push any kids down so it is a major improvement from the last reciatal. She is definintly a little star and loves the attention. She actually knew the dances and she sang along with all the songs, it was so cute.
