Our Tough Cookie

My house is a disaster. I'm tired of cleaning, so I choose blogging.




I have heard from 3 different people that India is aggressive in nursery. Ammon thinks it's great. Should I be worried? She did tackle Jackson to the floor when she wanted him to dance with her on Sunday. Sigh. Poor Jack. He is a champion friend (and so are his parents!).

I do have one good reason the house isn't clean. My sister, Brittany, just gave me a must-see, five star documentary called God Grew Tired of Us. In a nutshell, it's about the trek that 27,000 orphaned lost boys and girls made from Sudan to multiple refugee camps to America. However, the documentary focuses on three specific young men's stories. What impressed me the most was their healthy perspective on trials, family, unity, trust, and happiness. I think about William Golding's fictional story, Lord of the Flies, which focuses on the atrophy of humanity and civilization when children are left to raise themselves. Yet, the lost boys of Sudan's story is so different. I'd love to further discuss this documentary with anyone who watches it!

She is pulling the 'blue steel' look. Maybe it's even 'la tigre.'

I choose blogging over lots of things Erin...cleaning, work, working out, taking naps, it pretty much rules my life...

I agree w/ Hailey I was going to comment on the sink picture as well. I love India she is so cute.

She's changed quite a bit! I also like the sink picture. It's a nice looking sink! Our bathroom sink is so old, I'd be too afraid to put Shelby in it.

Jackson looks like he could belong in your family. Cute.

Merry Christmas!

i think the agression is great. it just means she willbe a happy successful little girl and she will probably always get what she wants. more power to her.
