Emily and her mini-me Ariel
The next few pics are from when I took Preston and Emily to the Military Child Carnival. They both had so much fun!
The guy that was doing this didn't want to bounce her up to high since she was little. I kept telling him not to worry about that that she is braver than most people twice her size, but he wouldn't listen to me. So, she didn't get to go to high, but she didn't seem to care. She still had so much fun on this!
Just a few pics of Jacob since he wasn't at the carnival with the older two. He stayed home with daddy.
Some pics of Preston at his very first play - He was part of the fan club for the Hare in the Tortoise and the Hare production that they did here on base. He was super excited about getting a part, but he stayed up late the night before the performance so was very tired. I told him he needed to go to bed, but he wanted to stay up late playing his game. There was one part of the play where the fan club came out and Preston wasn't there. When it was over I asked him why he didn't come out with the rets of the fan club that one time, and he said it was because he was tired and he told the director he needed a break. Such a drama queen!
These are from the carnival that was on base this past weekend. Preston was the only one that got to go since Emily was not on good behaviour at her ballet practice Saturday morning. She had to get a good review at the end of ballet by her teacher to be able to go. Her teacher did not give her a good review, so unfortunately Emily had to stay home with Daddy and Jacob. It was very hot, so not a lot of people came out on Saturday to the carnival. So, that was good for Preston, there was only one ride that had an actual line to it. He had a good time until he got a speck of dirt in his eye, then he wanted to go home. I didn't complain since it was really hot out.
This was the ride that had the long line. In the background is EMS responding to a woman that collapsed from the sun. She seemed ok though, I could see her talking to them. It was just that hot out!
That should get you all caught up on events from my last post. Jacob is now waiving Bye Bye and he is trying to say it too. He hasn't really said something 100% coherent, so haven't counted anything as his 1st word yet, but he is getting really good at mimicking everyone. So should be saying his first word very soon. Still is standing up a lot, but hasn't tried to let go of whatever he is holding onto yet. Hasn't ventured that far yet. So still a speedy crawler!
