My Puffs...

My Puffs, my lovely Gerber Puffs...

Oh, seriously... what would we do without these things. Mario eats them when he is not feeding them to the dog. He loves the Exersaucer, I think mainly because that is when he gets Puffs. Murry, the dog, will come over and Mo feeds him some occasionally. Today, I see Mario doing the most disgusting thing ... he was letting the dog LICK the puff, then Mario would eat it! YUCK. Don't even tell me that dog's mouths are cleaner than humans. I am so not making out with a dog to find out. Eww.

Jeff and I are strange, so of course we started singing (as if we were the dog) to the tune of My Humps... "Mo, whatchu gonna do with all those Puffs, all those Puffs? " "My Puffs, My Puffs, My Lovely Gerber Puffs!" Seriously, were are deranged.

Allie had dress rehearsal last night for the play. I stayed and did hair and make up. Boy, I walked in there feeling kind of in a funk. Those 7th and 8th grader's energy is contagious. To see them so excited rubbed off onto me!

The first performance was this afternoon for the students. Jeff's parents drove the 2 hours to see her! She was so thrilled, and so were we. I stayed with Mario who sometimes squeals VERY loudly, which will be great for her volleyball and softball games, but for a play, not so much. Jeff said she did really well! It is cute, their school janitor writes a play with his wife every year and directs the kids! Wow, to have that talent. She was not going to try out, but I nudged her, and she truly loves it. I was so glad. She is already talking about next year! She has performances Thursday & Friday with the cast party following. Balancing softball, volleyball and play was not ideal, so she will be glad to have something off of her plate. I used to say, I will never overschedule my child, but here she was OVERLYscheduled. Oh, well!

Mario is doing funny things lately. He is still not walking, but I think he is just messing with me. He will stand for a few seconds, then catch himself and sit down really fast. Soon enough, I will be complaining about chasing him! He is eating more things now... yogurt, ravioli, noodles, grilled cheese (Thanks, Andrea.. well, thanks K for suggesting it) .. he loves that grilled cheese! He plays pat-a- cake and claps when you say "Yay!" He will close his eyes tightly after you do it which truly entertains Allie... she says. "that is so cool that he does what I do"... I tell her to remember that... he is ALWAYS watching and listening!

I will have pictures from the play that I will post this weekend, I hope. I am such a bad blogger with all of the running around, but I will try! Thanks for checking in!
