"That'd be the butt, Bob"

(If you're curious about the title for this entry, click here.)

The past couple of weeks have been hectic, but fun. One thing we all enjoyed was another trip to "Old" MacDonald's. Of course, it's all fun and games until that greasy food starts to make it's way through the girls' digestive tracts.

But while at MacDonald's Diana showed me that she could play the piano with her butt. In case I didn't understand what she was doing she told me, "Look, I'm playing with my butt!" She played a fair version of "Jingle Bells" and asked if I would like to try it. Amazingly enough, I had no luck at all playing the piano with my butt.

Diana has been enrolled in school part time and now attends classes the same hours as her sister. Diana loves school, and didn't seem anxious at all to join a classroom full of new faces. When I bring her to her class, Diana does a happy dance around the room. I try not to take it personally.

Amelia is doing extremely well in school. He received a 45/45 on her kindergarten assessment at the local public school. She also did very well on her assessment at her current preschool.

But we all knew Amelia was sharp. Tonight I was giving her a hard time because everyone wanted to play "cheers" at the table but her. I called her an old stick in the mud and asked her, "Do you know what a stick in the mud is?" She immediately answered: "Dirty."

She is one smart cookie.
