Hannah, the Boss(y)

First of all, I just want to say that Hannah has two of the most wonderful cousins in the world! Alaina and Macy... you both were terrific playmates for Hannah over the last week. Thank you for spending so much time with her. She really had a great time with you both.

Let me explain the title... one of Hannah's new favorite games is "Ring around the Rosie" (also called... by her... pocket full posie... fall down... ring the posie). Hannah would grab Alaina or Macy's hands (or both) and say "Ring around Rosie... hands... hands... Ring around Rosie." Usually the girls graciously obliged her and around and around they went. Now guess who gets to go "Ring around Rosie"... mommy and daddy. Does anyone have a cure for dizziness?

The other thing Hannah was very demanding about was playing the piano and dancing. Hannah would crawl up on the piano bench and pat each side of the bench saying "Alaina, sit here. Macy (or Matey), sit here." She loved playing the piano and actually was more gentle than simply banging on it. Do we have a future pianist?

Finally, her saying all week was "hold you... hold you." She would go up to just about any adult and demand to be picked up. The adult closest to the food was likely to be her choice, but not necessarily. She enjoyed snuggling all her family. I suppose that is why we endulged her "bossiness."

Lizzie has become very bossy too. She grabs out clothes and pulls us in to the other room or she makes us hold her hands so we can either swing her in to the air (she asks to play "1, 2, 3") or help her jump really high on her trampoline. She also really enjoyed playing with her older (2nd) cousins over the holiday. In fact, I think she bossed them around quite a bit as well. :+)

Natalia has combined her love for Sunday School and being the boss lately. We are told to "please sit down", to "look at the pictures" while she reads, and to "shhh" quite often these days--often when she wants to sing and prefers to do it solo. :oP

She used to say, "hold you" too! Funny.
