Swinging Sisters

From Labor Day...

Three of Bea

Here are a few videos of Sweet Baby Bea who, for some strange reason, just keeps growing up! I know from experience that these little videos of everyday moments are the ones that I treasure most as the years march on, so here they are. [Hi Future Carri, remember when you thought these were just boring little videos of next to nothing? See, aren't you glad you captured them? Hi Future Josie & Bea, I know your silly mama used to drive you crazy with that camera always in your face, but aren't you glad now that she did?]

Bea, who has mastered the fine ancient art of "Peekaboo!"

Bea & Josie, just being silly sisters

That face!

Those cheeks! Those lips! And don't even get me started on those big sparkling eyes! I could truly gobble her up whole ;)

Back to ballet...

...and her leotard still fits but her twinkle toes are one & a half sizes bigger. She has a new teacher and we were able to get a spot downtown this year (no more early saturday trips to blue ash). Here's to another great experience at The Cincinnati Ballet Academy.

Yo Gabba Gabba LIVE!

OH WHAT A TIME WE HAD AT YO GABBA GABBA LIVE!  

YGG was never one of Josie's uber-favorite shows, but we knew she would have a blast at the live event considering it would feature lots of music, lights and silliness. It did not disappoint. That's for sure! 

Me and my girls, on our way in...

And now for the best part...the videos!!

This is my favorite one, so we will put that one first. That's Josie, in the aisle with the other little rockstar she paired up with for the evening.  Look at them go:

This one is dark, but lightens up. Lou & I were dying during this one. The band "I Fight Dragons" was live on stage and Josie was rocking out! (I think she's ready for her first Phish show...)




Short, but getting the sillies out never disappoints:




Josie & her little friend got picked to go up on the stage with Biz Markie! You have to follow her and her little green dress to see her, because she headed to the back. She was dancing like crazy (with the guy in the red hat on the back left). SO cute. I'm such a bad stage mom. I totally should've told her to stay in the front.




All four Schneiders had a blast. As you can see, Little Bea was in awe of the whole thing.



All told, we are definitely "experiences" people. The tickets really were way more than should be allowed & I wasn't so sure it was a good idea to go. But, we knew as soon as Josie took off into the aisle and Bea let out that big wide-eyed smile that this was going to be worth every penny. And it was!
