emotions of seven year olds
Lately some friends and I who all have seven year old boys that hang out have been trying to organize the gang into a somewhat entertaining group for the upcoming talent show at school. They were all in it last year and were hilarious but I believe this is how it goes with the second time around right? Like all those part two movies and so forth...better to leave it on the high note then try and repeat it only to bomb? Wow I'm sounding negative! This was our second attempt at corralling 4 seven year olds and three 5 year olds (plus one little sister - Finley can't forget you) in a living room to 'try' and learn a dance. All they wanted to do was absolutely act crazy: jumping, throwing themselves at each other (perfect for a mosh pit) and karate chopping whoever might be near enough to take a kick! After an hour of coaxing, yelling (sorry other moms - I lost it), crying (the boys not the moms), cheering them on, doctoring many boo boos...we gave up! No one could agree on anything and they just couldn't focus all at the same time long enough to do anything worth showcasing! It was sad b/c they really pulled it together last year but I believe as one mom said, "they really didn't know what they were getting into last year - they were in kindergarten!" Now they do...now they are seven - with attitudes, emotions and pride! How many more years of this do we have? Oh yeah, it's just the beginning - DRAMA!

Eli says maybe next year. I doubt I will ever see him on that stage again. Oh, well...let's go back to FB and watch the video again...
