Lights, Camera, Action!!!

Sydney made her 'official' acting debut at the end of June.  It was a local interpretation of The Lorax, and Sydney nailed all of her lines.  She delivered her parts with such passion and raw emotion, I wouldn't be surprised if some talent scouts soon came knocking on our door :)  If that happens, she already has a list of demands for items that must be waiting for her in her dressing room...oh well.

Recently, the Tooth Fairy also struck again.  Sydney is now a tooth-loss veteran with her second tooth out.  She wiggled and wiggled for days and it finally popped out.  I’m sure she was excited that she got a couple of bucks from this mysterious being, but for us it’s just a reminder of how quickly she continues to grow.

Sydney's fans after watching her acting debut.

In Corwin news, he’s been doing great with just about everything.  He’s becoming a pro at his balance bike, his vocabulary continues to explode, and he’s become a natural at the potty.  Although he still has the occasional expected ‘accident,’ he’s mostly batting a high percentage of success.  The perk for us is that it also includes number two J  Hopefully soon, the days of any diaper changes will be over.  In fact, he’s down to nighttime diapers which may disappear in the near future.  Hooray for us!...I mean him J Good job bud!!!

In other news, Nana has made her long trek (no, not Star Trek), to Bellingham.  She completed the sale of her home in Billings, Montana, and is now going to be a Washington State resident.  Until she finds a new permanent place of residence, she will be staying with us.  This comes with some consequences, as she has already been exposed to Frozen tattoos, cartoons, sibling rivalries, and other activities that Nanas can usually avoid.  For now, she’s been spared from face painting.  I’d like to place the emphasis on ‘for now…’ (insert devious laugh here).

Well, that’s all for now.  We are looking forward to having the Eastmans with us next week, as they make their annual trip from Japan.  Then, later in the month, we’ll get to take our very first trip to Hawaii. 

A puppy and a pirate...interesting choices for
some random fun at home.
