Kids Say The Darndest Things #347

Yesterday, while Betsy and I were sitting down to circle time at preschool (I attend class with her on Mondays), I pointed out her teacher's pretty leopard print scarf. Betsy, not missing a beat, stood up and said,

"Teacher Angie, guess what! Your scarf is the same as my underpants!"

As I drove through town, I looked in the rearview mirror and saw Betsy sporting some cute little sunglasses. I told her how cute she looked and she said, "I know."

Well, at least she knows her assets and isn't afraid to use them!

Future Blackmail

The video of Elliot dancing has been removed. I decided that his possible embarassment outweighed my personal enjoyment. If you still really need to see the video, email me and I'll see what I can do for you.

The Irish Learn to Dance

My cousin, Ryan, recently married his beautiful bride Eileen. Eileen, her sister and her brother have been Irish dancing competitively for many years. So at the rehearsal dinner they taught us a few moves. Here is a little glimpse of all the left feet moving around the floor. The video is a little long, but it's fun to try to pick out people you know from the dancing faces.
