Finger Sucking

Put the THUM no suck stuff on Sophies finger to help her stop sucking her finger...I am writing the company, it is made from Cayenne. Well, guess what , she LOVED it. Made it taste like a big candy stick so she had it more in her mouth and was begging for more!!! You know if they can put a tub of berbere and chili's jalapenos, and habeneros on stuff and eat it like candy...what do you do???

update 2/25/10

Joseph's new word for calculator...."CONKINATOR"

Love the kiddos artwork, most kids bring artwork home of dogs,cats, trees...OURS bring home pictures they have made of zebras, lions, hippos, tribal huts, elephants, and our favorite...one made a tribal mask.

Sophie has quite a little stinker streak...she was sounding out words for a spelling test...OUTLOUD...but she was done with the test...she was saying a word and spelling it out but it wasn't the right word so the others in the class would get it wrong...
Daddy had a hard time correcting Sophie for this because he couldn't stop laughing. The teacher did NOT find this amusing.

The kiddos had their first dance recital Tap/Jazz last week. Moses and Isaiah were not happy they did not get the PINK TUTU's to wear. WE had to have yet ANOTHER discussion on why boys in America don't wear tutu's or dresses or hot pink.

Sophie had her make up out before the piano teacher came. The kiddos came upstairs when the teacher arrived and we looked at them in amazement...they had used sophies makeup to paint their face ....tribal style...boys included. Yet another discussion on the finer points of American culture.
