"You are invited to a show after dinner, love, Jane and Lizzy"

This year I missed the girls' school program so their teacher sent a cd home for them with all of the music on it. Tonight we gathered in the living room and watched their "show". Apparently, Natalie has been practicing with them at night. I was so proud of how well they learned the music and Natalie had me laughing as she watched and copied her sisters. She knew almost half of the music. What great little teachers the twins are! This song is in Chinese. (half of the first graders at the school are in a Chinese immersion program.)

Natalie's New Look

Natalie working her self-made mullet in her "goggies".



So, Natalie has recently discovered scissors. I try to keep them out of her reach but she is VERY good at finding them. She has cut locks of hair off half a dozen times now. The first time, she gave herself bangs. I'm not a fan of bangs, they have to be constantly trimmed and styled, blah blah blah, but on a little lovey, I think they look cute. The big problem is that she keeps getting to the scissors. I usually catch her as she's taking the first cut, which has minimized the damage. However, the other day I looked over at her with her little rainbow striped shirt that is getting too small to fit over her tummy and it struck me that she looked an awful lot (yes I just used that phrase) like an 80's icon:
What do you think? I think all she's missing is some of those fabulous moon boots...
