Bragging Time!!

My kids are the best! Haha. Get right to the point, I guess!

Rio has been doing great with dance except she hardly listens to the instructor...who needs instructions when your ideas are so much better and funner (is that a word? I don't think so but it sounds good!)? She's having fun though, and feels like a ballerina princess each time! That's what counts at this stage (per the instructor--you go, girl), so I encourage her to participate in what the rest of the class is doing, but I don't stress when she's not--for both our sakes! Ha! Thankfully, she does listen to the important ones like, "stand like this" or "find the black line!", so that's been fun to watch. Here's a couple of her doing what she does best--twirling! I don't know where she got this from--she's been doing it a long time--but she always starts her twirl with her hand on her chest and then twirls, regathers, hand on chest, twirl. It's so hilarious to watch!

And this is what I mean by her doing her own thing...

Haha! Give the kid a break! She had swim class for an hour right before this class! Ha!

Then there's the other Holub baby. I will from now on refer to him as Superbaby; maybe Superman eventually! He went to his very first baseball game with us on Friday--it was the Astros against the Detroit Tigers in Minute Maid Park. The Astros won the game 5-4 and it was an absolute blast! Best time I think I've ever had at a major league game before--for a lot of reasons, but mostly Lathan was an awesome fan!! Oh my word, I was soooo proud and soooo impressed with how good he did! He didn't cry once the entire time--even with all the noise, hooping, hollering, loud music, etc., he was as content as could be! At 4 months! Yes, he is Superbaby. He's a light sleeper and only got to sleep for maybe 30 minutes from 7pm til 11pm because he first had to get over the heat, then I had to hold his head against my chest to stifle the sounds in one ear and cover his other ear with his burp cloth with my hand. It was pretty warm, but he still did not fuss. The park roof was closed and air conditioned, so eventually he cooled down, but it was still muggy. We got a brief time on the jumbotron too and Lathan can now brag how he got on it in his first game ever! After the game, the park hosted a great fireworks display set to music (they do this every Friday night, by the way), and he just watched in my arms. I plugged his ears to lessen the noise, but he sat in my lap contently and was mesmerized by the lights. It was so incredible to watch him witness them for the first time. I loved it!
