After the Circus

So we attended the Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey circus yesterday with both of the kids. I thought the show was supposed to be the circus! Hah. Try managing a one year old who has, within the last two days, decided that she can walk everywhere - including up and down stairs - which she was determined that she was going to get to the stage - and a 4 year old who's not a big fan of loud anything during a two hour show - that's the real circus. Overall it was very fun and James stated that his favorite part of the show was the big round cage that "bammed fire out of it when the motorcycles weren't in there". And the elephants too.

Today James got to sit inside of a real police car because the officer knew his daddy. The officer also gave James an official badge sticker that James has placed on the outside of his bedroom door and informs anyone that wants to enter his policeman room has to ask permission or they'll be trespassing.

Ella loves her daddy too. If daddy asks for a "kissy kissy" she leans forward to him so he can give her a kiss. It's so cute. She knows where her hands are and says "kack" for a duck. She also loves to try on different shoes. She'll hand me her shoes and direct me to put them on and then take off walking in them as fast as she can. She also loves her big brothers shoes. I'm sure this is a sign of behavior yet to come. I better make some room in the shoe closet!
