Bra Shopping

Two big events just happened in Adelle's life.

#1 She graduated from 5th grade. We gather together with all her classmates and their families to celebrate mediocrity. Having spent the last two years working with high school students whose chance of making it to graduation is pretty slim, I can understand why we now have graduations at kindergarten, 5th grade, and 8th grade. I mean we don't want someone to not have a chance to graduate from something right? 

Okay the idea is a little ridiculous but it was a big deal to Adelle so I tried to play my part. Though I really suck at these things. You see those flowers she is holding? Not hers. She borrowed them from her friend, who had two, so she could take that photo. WORST MOM EVER! Luckily I still have 8th grade and maybe 12th, if she makes it. 

#2 She started wearing bras. I was a better mom for this momentous occasion. I got a babysitter for the littles and took Adelle out for a treat before heading to Kohls, gushing on about what a big moment this was, you know like embarrassing moms do.  Then I chose all the cute padded bras I could find for her to try on.  

She informed me that the point is for people not to notice her breasts. Or maybe she meant her bra? Because lets face it, this child is not going to be well-endowed. Either way, we walked out with three sports bras. After she informed me that bras are uncomfortable. Tell me something I don't know girl. 

Adelle noticed the other day that I hadn't updated this blog in a year. She tried to lay the guilt on thick since I update my knitting blog fairly regularly. This post should put a stop to those guilt trips for a bit. And confirm that I am the meanest, most embarrassing mom around. Sorry if you were hoping to take that title. :)

I love you Adelle! xoxo

Funny Adelle

This is Adelle's mouth with her new fancy expander. A few weeks ago she told me that she now has two tender spots. Her mouth and her "nuts". Seriously, she said that. Once I contained the laughter, I had to explain to her that she did not have "nuts." I know I am a bad mom because I laughed but it was really funny. We already had the "talk" with her so I am not sure why she thought she did. I still laugh thinking about that conversation.

Soccer

I am sorry about the depressing message last blog. I'm over feeling sorry for myself. If the baby comes before Joel is done with the film I don't have to be pregnant anymore and if not then Joel will be there for the birth. Either way I am a winner! 

Here are some photos from Adelle's soccer game. She loves playing goalie. It is crazy. She likes to actually put her face down close to where other people are kicking. She is getting pretty tough too. I expected her to start crying the first time that she got hit but she has really surprised me. She is a pretty good goalie and requests to play there part of every game. 

No matter how tired the girls are during the game they always have the energy to run through the victory tunnel after the game. One of these games we will have a victory. We tied this last game so we are getting closer!
