Latest Journey

This past week, I was asked to be the alumna speaker at the 94th Convocation at Conn College. It was such a great honor to have been asked, and some of the people in attendance emailed me to say I was the best alumnae speaker they had heard (aww...!! So nice!). The Director of Alumni gave Joli and Jada these cute sweatshirts!

Funny picture of Jada -- Joli had dressed her up as Master Shifu. I'm not sure how exactly this qualifies as Master Shifu's costume, but, heck!, they had fun!


Let's see, here is a list of funny stuff that happens in our house:

• Joli loves the Cheetah Girls in India. She loves to say she's Aqua, the one with the "brown skin" (hurray!)

• Jada is obsessed with calling herself Master Shifu or Kitty Kat

• When it's time to go anywhere, Jada says, "C'mon, Cheetahs! It's time to get to work!"

• Yes, Jada still has a boobie obessession, which I'm simply blogging about so we can look back on this and laugh! I'm trying to get her to move from a boobie obsession to a "belly" obsession

• Joli loves to watch A Baby Story in the morning with me.
  

• Jada is just about potty trained - she spends most of her day in "big girl undies" and Joli likes to call Jorge's underwear his "manties"

• Joli starts full time Kindergarten on Tuesday -- and will wear a uniform 5 days a week

• Jada loves the Jonas Brothers and asks for Jorge to play their songs every time they get into the car

• Joli and Jada have discovered "friendship bracelets" and love wearing them on their ankles

• Jada still enjoys saying "Gordon DIIIEEDD!! he's never coming Baaaccckkk!!!"

• Jada is very loving to "the baby" in the morning and greets it every day with "Hello, baaaahhby. I'm your sister, Jada!"

• Jada has developed a funny little laugh that she gives off when knows she's in trouble. It sounds like this, "ahh heeeeiii heiiii yayaaa." It freaks Mari out.
