My girls' got talent!

So often when I am exercising I get blog ideas and yesterday I thought of this one on talents. Both of my girls have many talents but yesterday these are the ones I love?! . . . I mean love!!!


Bailey has the gift of music like her dad but instead of being the quiet "back of the band" bass player she is the front man. By front man I mean the only man allowed on stage at any given time. I can prove this as every picture I take of her (casual, traveling or posed) she is in full theater pose with arms raised high above her head, impossibly huge smile, head slightly tilted, and the stance that shouts, "get ready for this!" You can constantly hear me saying, "please lets just take it down a notch". She can hear a tune and immediately recall what the name of the tune is and where she heard it last. Plus she can sing the lyrics to an entire song after only hearing it once or twice. She even mimics the voice inflections of the singer's from Christina Aguilera to Aretha Franklin, perfectly. And boy does she give us extravagant concerts every night while in the shower. We think she is trying to sing to France and Poland as well as Germany. And her bravado . . . . must be heard for yourself, I can't explain it.


McKenna can catch flys with her bare hands!!! This is not a one time random hit, I have witnessed this repeatedly. She gets the fly in her vision and locks onto it (I really mean lock because I can't talk to her, she physically cannot hear and concentrate on anything else) Basically she probably tortures the poor bugger until it gives up and lets her end the abuse. Just yesterday another victim fell in the dining room. And as she is proudly telling me of it's demise she finishes by saying, "Mom, I put it in my hand and tore it all apart." She is not kidding, there were fly parts all around the crime scene. She nonchalantly states, "now I need to wash the blood from my hands" and casually walks to the bathroom. Should I be concerned?!?!?! Well I am . . . .

When these talent's surface I calmly remind myself that these characteristics will benefit my girls when they get older. Bailey for instance will entertain and bring joy and laughter to all around her. Never mind the ringing in their ears. And McKenna . . . well . . . uhm . . . oh, here is a good one, she won't take any crap from anyone?! Is that it?
