Tutus!

Eliza, Sadie and I love the new skirts Grandma sent!

It was such a treat when the girls opened their package!

Blurry, but still a cute curtsy. ;)
David and I are in our room talking. We hear hysterical laughter coming from 4 year old, Sadie. It was one of those unstoppable belly laughs. I, like most folks, love a good stomach cramping, speech impaired, humor induced laugh. It was a joy to listen to my small child experience this! (Much more delightful than say a tickle induced laugh). When Sadie finally slowed down her laughter to a light giggle, I inquired, "Sadie, what is so funny?" She began, "Levi iiiiiiis...." (Bout of uncontrolled laughter).... "He iii(giggles)iis...(more laughter).....

1 Minutes Earlier:
Levi comes into my room holding a tutu he had pulled out of the girl's dress up box. He struggled to get it on himself and then he handed it to me. I was a bit hesitant to dress my boy in a tutu but I understood he wanted to dance with his sisters. I put it on him and he anxiously ran out to the family room.

Sadie's reaction made it worth it! The next day I asked her, "Sadie, what was so funny yesterday?" The memory of it still made her laugh as she retold, "Levi was dancing in my tutu!"

(Sigh) My boy is back to his firetruck! Really, it is so fun to see how boys and girls are born different! Levi has started charging me, diving into me, or falling in my lap with some accompanying sound affect. Then he gives me a hug, climbs down, backs up for some running room and does it again. He's affectionate, playful, and destructive all in one move. :0)


David has been growing his hair out for the first time in his life. I really had no idea he had curly hair and I have known him 10 years! He is getting all kinds of attention over these lovely locks!
