SYTYCD

Natey and Diane gave mom and I tickets to So You Think You Can Dance in the cities. I love watching this show on TV. My favorite dancer of all seasons , Melanie, won this year so I was excited to see her.

This was my favorite couple, Marko and Melanie, doing one of my favorite dances from the show.

Thanks for the tickets Natey and Diane, great seats. Mom, thanks for the fun night. Lots of good laughs and good company. ;)

Few things from the week:

Lucas decided he wasn't colorful enough. Thankfully it was just on him and was easy to get out/off.

I was snuggling with Nolan one night and we were talking about stuff. I started telling him how proud I was of him being so happy that night (Matt started talking about goals with Jacob and Nolan....Nolan's goal is to be happy and Jacob's is to be a good listener). Nolan tends to get to get upset really quickly, sometimes explodes......however I would too if I was the youngest of three brothers always fighting for attention and to get a word in. Anywho.....I told him how he did such a great job being happy that night, he was in such a great mood.... he said "Thanks". I said, "What should mommy's goal be?"....totally put myself up for that one. He hesitated for a moment as if he was thinking real hard......"To not yell....". I couldn't keep my laugh in. Guess I've been yelling a lot lately huh? Kind of smacks ya in the face. I told him that is a great goal for me, and I will work on it. I also asked him though why mommy yells and he told me because they don't listen. I said, "Yep....mommy doesn't yell very often the first couple of times I ask you to do something or tell you something....but when I have to do it 5 times, then I start to yell." He nodded and smiled. I told him I would make a deal....I will work on yelling....if you work on listening the first time. We shook on it.

I had to laugh because he also said daddy's goal was to not yell and Connor's goal was to not cry (Connor's been a little sensitive lately...getting teary eyed when things aren't going his way). At least I know Nolan understands the concept of goals. He was right on for all of us. He is going to be too smart for his own good.
