Amelia

Amelia had her school program today and it was one of the cutest and funniest things I have ever seen. I mean, what can you expect from a group of two and three year olds? LOTS of entertainment - because no matter what, they just do their own thing.

Amelia was front and center, and I think more than anyone, she did her own thing. That's John and Max, her little buddies, to her right - aren't they adorable? Those boys are CUTE.

At one point she was singing perfectly, and then she just stopped and leaned back and yawned the biggest yawn ever. She would also randomly stand up to sing, then sit back down. I didn't get those things on camera, because I was laughing too hard.

Then there was the wardrobe malfunction, where her dress became unbuttoned in the back and we were all pretty sure the whole thing would just fall right off. Thankfully it didn't, and the teacher swooped in to re-button her.

But I had to stop filming with the camcorder, because I was laughing so hard that the camera was shaking too much. At one point I did get a short video clip with just my regular little camera - the quality is bad, but it's easier to share than the camcorder footage. Here you can see - Amelia doing her own thing.



I love her. And I'm very proud of her.

They also had some of the kids' art work up on the wall. Here's the Very Hungry Catepillar *groan*

It was a really fun day. Unfortunately it was more than my brain could handle. You see, normally Amelia doesn't have school on Thursdays. Since working from home, I have BARELY been able to keep everything straight in my sleep-deprived brain (plus, Henry seems to have stolen even more of my brainpower than my previous children). So when Amelia went to school today, it totally threw me off. I got on the phone with my boss later in the day and asked him if he'd had a good weekend ha! When I went on my run tonight, I went a slightly different route and almost got turned around (even though it's my neighborhood, which I've lived in on and off for more than fifteen years). Scary.
