Penguins

I was talking to Gillian tonight.  I asked her if she knew who was coming to school tomorrow.  She said "You?"  I wish I was going to visit her school tomorrow, but I told her no.  And then I told her that the penguins were coming to visit.  Every year, TLC has the penguins from the Jenkinson's aquarium come visit the school.  Check out my first post about John and the Penguins.  It's amazing to see how much they have grown in the past two years!

Anyway, I told Gillian that the penguins were coming to visit school.  She smiled and told me "I'm going to hug them!  But I not going to kiss them!"  I asked her why she wasn't going to kiss the penguins.  She told me "Then they turn to frogs!" 

Dance party

Tonight, Uncle Bryan and Ashley came to visit. John was so excited to have visitors. He ran around in circles when they arrived. He said "You gotta come downstairs! Wait until you see it!" He proudly brought them downstairs to show them all of his toys. We ate dinner. And John asked to be excused. Since the adults were content to talk, we let the kids go downstairs to play. John kept coming up the stairs and peeking at us threw a crack in the door. After his fourth trip, I asked him what was going on. He came over to me and whispered "I wanna do a dance party! Can you guys all come down?" We of course could not argue with that and went downstairs. When we arrived we saw that John had moved the stools from his table to flank the couch. He had created a little seating (viewing) area. Daddy put on some music and the kids went crazy. They showed off all their moves. John did all his best moves, the robot, the airplane, and the tornado. All with Gillian following and copying all the moves.
