Arriba Arriba Amelie!

Amelie came back home last week from her Helen Emo's house with some fast feet.  No, really, quite literally.  I didn't think much of it when Ms. Melanie took her off into the other room & started doing football drills with the little one.  Sure enough, the very next morning, we're playing in the foyer and she starts fast feeting!  I didn't even ask her to!  I was like, "what in the...world?"  This unique little girl will only fast feet by herself when she's on this particular rug by the front door.  Strange huh? 

Enjoy!



Her coach, Ms. Melanie is currently working on Amelie's Heisman pose.  Stay Tuned!

Learning Amelish All Over Again*

So what's been going on with Amelie?  With the summer slowly winding down and Amelie already more than halfway to becoming 17 months, it's never a bore.  Everyday I'm reminded of all the firsts I've had as a toddler growing up.  The fascination in her eyes watching an ant crawl by.  The innocence of not understanding why it's not ok to eat her dog's food and why the toilet is a very dirty thing and not a water table.  There's actually so much zipping through that brain of hers that she's been wanting to say a whole lot.  Here she is trying to explain to us all that she's been through lately in Amelish. 

(Please email me directly if you can help decipher any of it.)



Amelie's also been helping to remind me that still, everyday is filled with something new so we should look forward to it.  I'm throwing it back old school style by kicking away jadedness and bringing optimism back into my life again.   

Hello again, Optimism.  Here's to hoping for a better tomorrows*
