Jocey - goal oriented

This week, Jocey has been preparing herself for some of her future goals. She's attempted, and succeeded, at climbing the banister on the OPPOSITE side of the stairs. I think her preparations for climbing K2 are coming along nicely. The only hiccup she had was at the very beginning when she got her leg stuck in between the slats. Warning: the following video may not be suitable for adults who do not have a sense of humor. Personally, I don't think this was mean to tape her. After all, my aunt and uncle did video tape my cousin who was stuck in a barstool for over an hour.



Next, she has been working on her skills in football. She practices kicking the ball, running around, and now she has conquered tackling. Only problem was that her opponent, aka the banister, wasn't very forgiving in recognizing her rookie skills:



Finally, she is preparing to be a make-up artist. Granted, she doesn't have any paints or make-up to work with right now, so she has resorted to other forms of art to put on her face. I think this is the promising of the three careers, plus it doesn't give me a heart attack when she does it! (Lori, I'm wishing your grey hairs good luck!)

That video is priceless! I think it's important to capture your kids crying too! What a nutwinkle!

Oh my goodness ... Jocey's cry is the cutest thing! It's a giggle-cry ... hard to determine exactly how she's feeling here ... from an emotional standpoint. From what I gather though, she'd like to be set free. =) Soooo, how are you not gray not? And is Jocey aware that there is serious money to be made on American Gladiators?

This is me.... Kristen said...

I know exactly which aunt, and I remember which cousin was in the barstool!!! Awesome! Hadn't thought of that in years. We've got a few sweet videos ourselves of some choice moments with our kids. Yours was great!!
