I started teacher at Grove in 200 when Wyatt was 10 months old. We have all gone to the Family Dance each year since that time. In the beginning Wyatt would want to dance and Jake would cry and cover his ears until we took him into the snack room and away from the music. Nothing much has changed except that Jake can now just ask for money and take himself into the snack room while Wyatt and Chloe dance the night away. Tony and Joey were there and they all had a great time. This year Jake got a snake painted in his arm. I know this sounds like a pretty basic thing that all kids do, but for Jake this is huge! This is the very first time in his life that he has had that done. It really freaked him out before. Of course, in true Jake form he skipped past the footballs and pirates and asked to have the snake demon painted on his arm. As we stood in line, he told me what he planned to ask for and I must have gave him a quizzical look because he said, "Don't worry Mommy. I've give her all the details." And he sure did. It turned out great and he was so proud of it! We brought the boys' buddies, Jaritt and Dayven with us again this year. As we were leaving I took a picture of everybody. First I said, "Let's get a picture." The boys all grouped together and in classic 3 year old at 9:30 pm fashion, Chloe melted down crying that there was no place to stand. Can you tell she has quite the flair for the dramatic.
