Weekend Fun!

Last weekend was the Justin Robert's Pajama-Rama! This is an annual tradition for us. We've gone every year since Josie was 8months old. We are sort of Justin's groupies. We've seen him at least 8 times in concert! Usually Josie just takes it all in. Really absorbs all the details then pretends to be Justin and sing her heart out. This time she actually got out of her seat a few times and sang a bit at the concert. We've been listening to Justin more this week thanks to the concert.

Josie also started her acting class at the Playhouse last week. They read a book and act it out. This week they read Peter Pan (Josie's fav, last year we had a Peter Pan birthday party!). She got the part of John....a dream role in her eyes!

Today Josie had a big date with Dad. They went to Clifford the Big Red Dog at the Civic Center. She LOVED it. While we didn't act this out (yet), she did had Billy retell the story in great detail at dinner.

Fashion Show...

Last week we went to the mall to get Josie some new clothes. After hitting up the boy's section, I said we should try to get some nice outfits for church, Easter, etc... I was met with the usual firm "No. No way, I'm NOT going to wear girl clothes." I was at the check out trying to convince her to just look at girl clothes at our next stop when she came up to me and said, "Mom I found a dress I'll wear..." I am pretty sure I threw everything that was in my arms on the counter faster than you could blink. I ran over to see the dress and was so shocked to see it was a PINK little number. After asking her if she'd wear it a few times I casually asked if she'd wear another dress and she said Yes! I was thrilled. Don't get me wrong, I love that Josie has her own style. I love that I don't need to spend time getting her dolled up, but when we need a nice outfit I don't want to pull teeth to get it on.

When we came home Josie and brothers put on a fashion show for dad. She was so thrilled to show off her new dresses. The next day she put them on again for another fashion show for Grandshe and Gigi (aka Gail). Again she couldn't wait to show them her new outfits. The true test will be tomorrow when we go to church... If she puts one of them on, I'll say we were a success!

Josie and Will modeling. Josie said she was the Beast and Will was Beauty. When Billy complimented her shirt I asked her what she should say....thinking a thanks Dad would be good. Instead she twirled closer to Will and said "Dance with me princess!" The kid cracks me up.

Josie's cool look...
