Jill's First Concert

We took Jill to see the Imagination Movers in concert on March 4th. She was extremely excited and ready to go see them for days beforehand, listening to their music everyday, practicing her dance moves, and picking her outfit. When we go to the theater I took her to the bathroom and she sat there shaking with excitement, squealing, "We goin' to see da 'Magination Movers!" over and over again. It was adorable. She really enjoyed the show though she didn't smile much as she was taking it all in and watching. After it was over she informed me that the Movers did NOT compliment her on her beautiful dress, nor did Warehouse Mouse acknowledge her sign. Maybe next time, Baby Girl.

The End of February

Wow, it's been awhile, so there is a lot to post. I'll break this up into several so as not to overwhelm you all at once. We've been keeping busy, as usual!

First up is my little goofball, pulling up her pants to get a laugh out of Mommy.

she was sick, and she (the girl who no longer naps) fell
asleep on my lap just like this while watching Mary Poppins

Jill Explains the Pancake-Eating Process


Just a typical lunchtime, with Jill talking

Jill Goes to the Dentist

I had a dentist appointment on the 15th, and Jill had been asking to come along and watch. I brought her and Steve with me, thinking they'd come back for a minute and head on to Starbucks until I was finished. That's not how it happened, exactly. I'll allow the pictures to tell the story...

I started off in the chair, but nothing got done with my teeth because...

Jill wanted to sit in the chair.

Then she wanted some glasses

and a bib.

She needed to check herself out in the mirror

and look at her teeth too!

She had her teeth checked and counted

and she then polished them herself!

She held her own vacuum,

and was examined by the dentist himself!

Thank you so much everyone at Olympic View Dental. You're amazing, and Jill loves you!

I've said before that Jill LOVES Sid the Science Kid, and her favorite episode is the one about the kids and their teacher getting the flu shot. So, without further ado, here is Jill singing her song, administering vaccinations, and doing it all without a shirt...priceless.
