Kids...

Last week my sister-in-law Donna's uncle had surgery. Since we've known him for many years, we went to the hospital to see him. We told Ciara we were going to see George because he is sick. Well, Ciara was too young to go in the intensive care unit, so she stayed in the waiting room and entertained everyone. She entertained! She sang songs, showed us her athletic abilities and played hide & seek with her Oma. After Dave came back from seeing George, Ciara decided it was her turn to see him. She said, "I want to see Curious George!" I started laughing when I realized she thought we were going to see the CURIOUS GEORGE. We tried to explain that George was Aunt Donna's uncle. You should have seen her expression ...she thinks Aunt Donna has a monkey for an uncle! The only George she has ever heard of is the Curious George monkey in the books. I think our friend George will have a good laugh over this one!

Disney On Ice

I love to see Disney on Ice and this week I had the privilege of taking Ciara to see it.
I had been many times myself, but there is something so special about taking your child. Children see things so differently from we adults so it's nice to be a bit of a child for that night. The show had a lot of characters, since they are celebrating 100 years, so we saw little tidbits of the different Disney films. It was nice and Ciara really enjoyed herself (she stood up and was pretending to "ice skate"). The funniest part to me was I had told her she could have a toy. They had all kinds of "girly" items, but oh no...she didn't want any of those items. She chose the sword. My daughter is such a tomboy! She wanted a sword so she and daddy can play swords at home together. So like a good mommy I let her have it and she and Kaeden proceded to have a sword fight right there. It was fun watching them and they did pretty good, too. They still have both eyes and didn't cut off any limbs:) I can't wait until next year.
