Tour and Dodge Ball-erina

Right after Easter was the Teddy Bear tour of the school where she will begin kindergarten this fall. There she is on our front step, holding Uni the unicorn she chose to bring as her stuffed animal buddy for the tour (how cute is that??). There is the school over her left shoulder. Sooo fun, right?

 She loved every bit of the tour and was so focused on going where we were being led and seeing everything that she totally had no regard for me- no hand holding, no sticking close to Mom, not much paying attention to a couple of kids she actually does know who were there... I had to weave through parents to catch up with her. I'm so thankful for her excitement, and we're so thankful to have a great school to send her to!

One thing the girls love about the new place is a really soft living room floor! It's perfect for wrestling Daddy.

 It's also perfect for a new sport in our home called "Dodge Ball-erina." Dodge Ball-erina is a sport Jake invented in which little ballerinas run and leap across the living room floor, and Daddy tries to peg them with the soft football when they run by. It's extremely popular in our home.

 One morning Blythe was barely awake when Jake was heading out the door to work, and she said in her falsetto little voice, "Daddy, can we play Dodge Ball-erina real quick?" Who can refuse to peg a little girl as sweet as that? After a couple of run-by's and peggings, she was satisfied and Daddy was allowed to go. All in a dad's day of work.
