Scanned

For a while Paige has been talking about dancing, and then Lily got a leotard and tutu at her birthday party. That got her talking again. To be honest, I was kind of hoping she'd do karate. Not because I mind her dancing, although I'll be of no help if she ever needs it. I just think kids are so cute doing karate, and I wished I'd done it when I was little. But when I mentioned it to her she asked what it was. We explained it a little, and she laughed and said "No, I want to do ballet". So ballet it is. Grama got us tickets to go watch the dance factory girls perform on Saturday night. Paige was SO excited the whole time, she couldn't sit still in her seat. She'd get up randomly and do some of the dance moves. Between almost every single dance she'd ask me to "scan her". She'd been playing with her cash register all day, scanning groceries, so the word "scan" was on her mind. She wanted me to sign her up to dance. I think she thought she could go down the second she was signed up and join them to dance on stage. Ha. She kept saying "Okay, I want you to scan me now." When we got home she stood next to me making sure I sent them an email to scan her up. They emailed me back and aren't doing princess ballet in the summer, but they do have Little Dancers, which I guess is ballet, tap, and something else, maybe gymnastics. Paige agreed to that, so I just have to go by the place and scan her now I guess.
Last night Paige and Cason got in a pretend argument about who first saw the dog walking by with his owner. They were crossing their arms and trying to look mad, and both kept saying "I saw it first." Actually Cason just said "Doggy, FIRST." Here's his arguing face:
Oh, and I misjudged this dog.
She's a protector. I know not too long ago she was more naive, she trusted everyone. But apparently she's grown up and matured. Ha. Yesterday the guy came to spray for bugs. Jess and I graduated with him, so he stood at the door for a second asking me how the pregnancy is going. I was holding Gia by her collar, because she gets really excited when someone first comes over. Cason was kind of hiding behind me and peeked out. The guy saw him and kind of leaned toward him and went "Boo!' Gia was NOT pleased with him. She actually barked, which is VERY rare for her, and it was clearly an aggressive bark. (Which I've only ever heard her do once, and that was at a REALLY creepy guy that was trying to sell us something.) She even kind of lunged toward him a little. I was quite surprised. Anyway, people have asked me if she's protective and I always said "Oh no, she has no idea she'd ever need to be." Well, here and now I publicly admit my mistake. I take it back. She's a guard dog.
