I started teaching on Tuesday - another full class of 30. It went pretty well except I misread the clock (thought it said 8:30 when really it only said 7:30) so I moved through my teaching quicker than normal and skipped an activity I really wanted to do because we were short on time. Turns out I planned right and we had plenty of time to do it. It was too late to call them back though and probably not a good impression on the first night. Ah well, now they have homework.
Jim and Nicole were at home that night and he actually got a few snaps of her which was great! Below is a shot of her preparing to give a real kiss (versus just putting your mouth on someone's cheek and making the sound). She hasn't grasped that you don't need to suction quite so hard before the "release".
- I have 2 problems with my outfit today. 1) I broke out a pair of my new $12 ON jeans and one leg is cut a little smaller in the thigh than the other. It’s not a huge difference but noticeable enough on a full-time basis when I sit or walk. 2) I do not understand side zippers on shirts. I get back zippers that totally open at the neck thus making the shirt/dress/whatever much looser to initially put on, but this zipper connects at the top and bottom so at no point is it really open. Most of the time I don’t even bother unzipping it at all because I don’t think they actually provide any functionality.
- I read People faithfully every week and feel that it keeps me relatively “in tune” with the "real" world. However, though I know of and have opinions about Amy Winehouse and the Jonas Brothers I’ve never actually heard a note of their music, which is of course what their careers are in. Today a radio station was giving away Cheetah Girls concert tickets. Who in the hell are they!?
- Lastly, Nicole can say a handful of words, one of which is shoe. It actually comes out more like “choo”, but she’s always holding or moving towards a shoe when she says it so I get it. I broke out slippers yesterday for the first time in a long time and she was very interested in touching them because they were fuzzy. I let her try them on and from there out she was quite content to walk around in her new “choos”.

The kiss face is soo cute!
Is Nicole going to start playing dress-up soon. She is so funny trying to walk in your "choos".
Ah, a girl with fashion sense and shoe fettish. Perhaps "Choo" isn't a cute mispronounciation of "shoe", but rather short for "jimmy choo". ;)
Side zippers help some clothes get on, if the top/dress is pretty fitted. They're already wider at the bust, but may need a little extra room at the waist when taking them off or on.
On what planet is "people" keeping you in tune with the REAL world?!?? That's more fantasy world.
I bet your students LOVED that you let them out early!! :) Extra points to you for that! (they may not realize that it was a mistake, but I'm sure they appreciated it)
Don't you love how kids love to explore everything? I thought it was great that when she lost her choo the first time she went back to put it on, but gave up when it happened again. :-D Too cute!
I agree with Martha - I don't read People, and I think I feel more in-tune with the real world as a result.
Love the video...I think it's funny that she was so intent and watched the shoes for a little while, and then must've decided it was too hard to deal with. :-)
The video put a big smile on my face! Ryann likes to wear flip flops but she puts them on backwards :-)
i love the moment when she thinks, "eh, one'll do." i love this kid.
What? She can kiss, talk, and put on her own shoes??? I think she's ready for kindergarten!
The Cheetah Girls are a group on Disney channel for young girls...they sing about girl power.
