The Little Mermaid

As we were driving to swim lessons Maya was sitting in the back of the car saying: "Alan Menken, Jodi Benson, Howard Ashman, Pat Carroll....". I, confused, asked Chris what she was talking about. Then it dawned on me; we were listening to the soundtrack from The Little Mermaid and the opening title song was playing. Whenever we watch movies Maya requires we read her the names on the screen. I'm really not sure why but it makes me giggle when she asks. It's slightly amusing to try to read all the names before they leave the screen. Anyway, turns out Maya has memorized some of them from the Little Mermaid that are onscreen during the title song.

Dancing Princess

I took a few more pictures at Maya's dance class that I wanted to share. Miss Sara has 14 kids in her class (13 girls and 1 boy) all between 3 1/2 and 5 years old. What a brave soul! Here are a couple cute pictures from today. Her friend Addison has joined the class(she's in a purple leo) so she has two friends in the class as well as a 'new' friend from preschool I noticed today. By the way, she was paired up with the boy today and I thought it was super cute! I love when parents sign their little boys up for classes like this!

Halloween Decorations

Here is mine and Maya's most recent BIG craft project. We have an octagon shaped window above our front door that we have decorated as a jack o lantern the past two Halloweens. This year Maya helped me paint the cardboard, decide on a face and even cut the eyes, nose and mouth out.

sinking in...

Owen has learned how to get in to the bathroom sink (from Maya's step stool) and man is he fast! As soon as he hears Maya's bathroom door open he is moving as fast as his little legs will take him. Mostly he likes to stand on the stool and 'brush' his teeth with his Cars toothbrush. Generally he holds it under the water, sucks on it, holds it under the water, sucks on it and so forth (though I take a minute to get a few really brushes in). Today I went down to the basement to switch out laundry loads and heard the water turn on in the bathroom upstairs. I thought it was Maya, but it wasn't...it was Mr. Owen. On a side note, the fact he kept turning the water on scared me a bit and made me double check the temperature of our water heater!
