Fiona's Life and Times: Photo Update

This summer has been a bit of a challenge. Fiona loves her new little sister SOOOO much, but it's a bit overwhelming. We've had such trouble with listening. She's wonderful about 85% of the time and the other 15%, wow. The other day she actually stood in the driveway and spit at me. I was far enough away that there was no danger of being spit on, but I was stunned. Where the heck did she learn THAT behavior? And with my overall respect issues, that was not a good moment.

Last night, she actually went to bed/sleep alone (in our bed, next to the sleeping baby). A sight never before seen in our house.

And now for some photos:

Daddy and Fiona letting me know how they feel about me taking a pic of them in the morning

I've never seen Fiona sleeping in her bed before, but she came home one evening, went into her room, climbed into her bed and took a nap, shocking

Sisters

Fiona with her drama class after their final performance, July 30th

This was the drama class picture...now you all have seen Fiona posing and smiling for pictures...this was her "smile" for the drama class picture. Granted, the photographer made them all fold their hands in their laps, but that looks more like a grimace than a smile to me.

See, that's a Fiona smile.

That little blur in motion in the center of the picture is Fiona on her first day of gymnastics class, August 2nd at Metropolitan Gymnastics

Okay so here Fiona is barely discernible amongst the foam in the foam pit she just leapt into, but sheesh, it's hard to take good photos of moving things with my digital camera, the delay between push button and take photo is epic.

The next three photos display Fiona's front braids which she wore for about...four days before I made her take them out and wash her hair. When we originally started putting them in, it was all going to be braided, but she made me stop with just the front ones. It's still pretty cute and she wanted to keep them in forever.
