The video below might not look too much different from the March video post - but the elements are much crisper and Sarah took 3rd at the Open!

BECCA TURNS 7
Wednesday, March 11, 2009
We celebrated Becca's 7th birthday at Disneyland! Because the Disney people are evil genius marketers. They pay for your kid to get in free when it's their birthday. You pay for everyone else in your group to get in, and then you proceed to get your kid anything they want all day. Because it's their birthday!
But who cares. Because it's kind of like a triple birthday. Becca turned 7, and Don and I went through rapid-aging during Becca's 1st grade year. Rarely have their been such alliances for the greater good than exist between Becca's teachers and ourselves. I'm sure someone somewhere in the universe has said the phrase "STOP IT RIGHT NOW" more than we. But we haven't run across them yet.
Anyway, we love her! And now she's 7.
BUTTERFLIES
Wednesday, March 04, 2009
Becca is in a very prolific writing phase - she's starting to write stories. Here's a book she is putting together. It's so good, after she colors the pictures, I might hard bind it. She'll want it later in life.
BUTTERFLIES
Butterflies start as an egg. They hatch in an hour. Then a fuzzy little caterpillar comes out of the egg and starts munching on leaves.
It eats and eats and eats until it is fat! When he has filled his tummy, he starts to make a chrysalis and shuts his eyes and goes to sleep for days and nights.
At day, it hatches from its chrysalis. It's now a butterfly. It has to dry its wings.
It flies around the flowers.
Soon this butterfly will lay eggs.
The eggs will hatch and start all over again.
