My HS Musical Star...is two years old

One of Lexie's birthday presents was this HS Musical microphone. Izzie has taken over it and hogs it all the time. She really does sing sweeter than this most times...this is a little harsh, but I LOVE IT when she boogies!

So she takes a bit to 'warm up' and has a hair moment even though it's really not in her face. I love my Izzie! I love it that my girls 'think' they're total pianists. They turn the pages of the music books and pretend they're following along on the piano. Who knows, maybe one day some talent will develop! But for now, it's a big cause for noise-making and laughter in our home...and sometimes it just downright gets on the nerves and Curt wants to throw the piano down the street. Good thing it's too heavy for him to move otherwise I think it would have found a new home by now! But this 'performance' is typical:

When She Dances....

When Isabella dances it turns my world into a more joyful place. I can just see it now... In 60 years when I'm senile & fragile on my deathbed I will say, "Dance for me, Izzie!" to get one last smile in & to be in MY happy place. (Of course, I'm forgetting, that she'll also be a ripe 62!) Seriously, she just makes me laugh and has the ability to turn a sour day into a sweet one--when she dances! Part of our nighttime routine now is to watch Izzie dance so we can all smile. She even manages to sneak in an 'Elaine' (from Seinfeld) move here and there sometimes--you've gotta see her in person au natural without the camera rolling...Miss Joyful Izzie. Love it! (In this video she takes a minute to warm up...after she ditches her cheerleader baby doll and it's not her best work, but still my ever-spunky Isabella!) My girls just all are attracted to that darn bedpost! Time for a new bed. This is an innocent post.
