We attended a get together across the street and my "deathly afraid of dog girls" seemed to take to little ol' Shaggy. Adeline, of all people, started the friendship. The girl who doesn't like animals (freaked out by frogs and turtles that have been brought into her preschool classroom) decided to play ball with Shaggy. This surprised me on many levels, primarily because Shaggy is jumpy and all over the place. I am also astounded she picked up a furry, wet tennis ball. Definitely a sensory no-no in Adeline's book.
You can see Adeline fight her desire to step on the grass to get the ball in this video. Eventually, Shaggy is the one to give in. Please disregard the clinging of beer bottles in the background.
On a completely different note, Savannah had a Letter People Parade at school. School functions are always a nightmare for me because the girls want to run wild or take part. Lila Grace, to no one's surprise, hopped right in the parade with her Nana (Savannah's nick name in this house). She was pretty cute.
Savannah chose Mrs. W. I was a bit confused at first because I figured Savannah would want to be Mrs. S. She said she chose Mrs. W because she seemed like a calm and quite character. I guess Mrs. S leaned toward a super hero and that put Savannah off. Yep, she is my quiet and calm girl. I thought her Mrs. W costume was quite fetching. (we were working off a previously designed character. Orange shirts with a big W was all Savannah let me do because she wanted to look like the real Mrs. W. Of course I had other plans but chose to submit.)
