Lissa's first Christmas program


I got a lot of photos of the old piano and the basketball hoop. I was way in the back of the gym. She saw me though and waved. I was proud of her, there was a time when I didn't know if I'd ever see this kind of stuff. She did pretty good and sang three songs and then sat down on the steps and ignored them. The rest of her class sang ten songs, but, she wouldn't. She didn't like the songs...or the little dance. I didn't care, I guess she isn't going to be a Rockette.

When they left the gym she gave me that look and tossed her hair. Pretty green velvet dress and tennis shoes. Her choice.

Last night, I explained the years of school to her. How when she's five she'll go to kindergarten, then I asked her to repeat it. So, when you turn 5, where do you go? She taps her cheek thoughtfully..."prison." No, that's not what I said. Geez, she scares me.

I know, right? She wasn't being a smartie pants though. That's just how her mind works.

I told her I was getting a new couch and she says "pink?" I said, no, I think tan. She's says "No, you'll shoot your eye out." Now, that was smartie pants.

DD, I would say watch out for that one, but you are on top of it obviously. What DOES surprise you anymore? Seriously. That kid is cute. My puppy is cute and he's Satan.

Thanks for sharing those stories. She is a clever one! Pretty astute, and heartbreakingly honest, it's hysterical. I love the dress. She is a really cool person and has so much character for her age.
