pearl talked the entire class. while the other girls did graceful little steps and sweeping arms, pearl used her loudest voice to interrupt the teacher with important thoughts like, "DO YOU, DO YOU, DO YOU KNOW WHAT COLOR EYES I HAVE? BROWN. I MEAN... HAZEL." also, referring to norah, "THIS IS MY SISTER." teacher: "oh? i thought you were cousins." "YEAH. YEAH, COUSINS AND SISTERS. OK I'M GOING TO COUNT EVERYBODY NOW. ONE, TWO..."
she honestly did not stop talking. it was a good mixture of funny and train wreck and i had to stop watching because it was all so very contrary to my personality. i was the seen-and-not-heard type of child. so naturally i blame jamie. he can take her to dance next week. (if they don't kick her out.)
would you freaking stop it please. not to mention that these photos need to be in the next issue of nylon or something. you are so cool.
ReplyDeleteand this is why i have to have a girl. at some point.
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness. i looove that last picture and how she's standing, so darling!
ReplyDeleteoh my! that last photo is so perfect! look at her little stance!
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to tell you that I really enjoy your blog and getting a glimpse of your sweet family.
ReplyDeleteI just laughed really hard. I have the flu so not much is funny, but that...funny. I think we are kindred spirits abby (seen not heard child...blessed with spirited heard and seen children). only your spirit is way cooler than mine.
ReplyDeletei would like to see the 2 sisters do the "step, bump. step, bump bump" move.
ReplyDeleteHilarious! Yes, her personality is quite far removed from yours at that age. I really want to sit in on Norah and Pearl's dance lessons. AG
ReplyDeleteI love this story. Thanks for documenting it so well with the camera skills.
ReplyDeleteuh-stinkin-dorable! ooh, i love your kids! love you too. :) and miss ya like cuh-ray-zeh! zumba - i haven't been since i got back from vegas. my kids and hubs had separation anxiety and now i can go nowhere without them. at least for a little bit. :) i'll let ya know when i get back into it tho. i want to start running (again, ha.) as well. it's on the blog. :)
ReplyDeleteAmazing pictures as always! Love the Reno reference. You have the best titles.
ReplyDeleteI love these little ballerinas!
ReplyDeletewhat a darling, darling post. i absolutely love that first picture of pearl...
ReplyDeleteHah hah! That is SO Ethan at his gymnastics class-- all the other kids calmly follow directions and are sweet and graceful and QUIET, and Ethan's the ball of energy, bouncing off the walls!
ReplyDeleteAdorable! I love it. :)
ReplyDeleteShe has the perfect runway ballerina bun. Seriously, with all the flyaways along her hairline. It's perfect!
ReplyDeleteThe pictures paired with the anecdote is just too much cuteness for me to bare.
ReplyDeleteOh, my gosh. That is so stinking cute! I would have the same reaction, though. Love it! :D
ReplyDeletewhat cute cousins {and cute names!}
ReplyDeleteher stance is perfect! i need some lessons in grace from that little lady!
p.s. i hate the word "cute" and yet... i use it ALL the time. another goal for the new year.
la pearla's posture is PERFECT.
ReplyDeletelook at their little leotards!
