Future Olymic Gymnast?

Here, Hunter practicing his cartwheels. He's getting there.

Dancing w/ Hunter and Michaela, night two

So, the second night of 'Dancing w/ the Stars' I remembered that we could do video on one of our digital cameras and decided to see if we could get some better video quality. It is only slightly better. Michaela cracks me up the way she gets so bossy when it comes to dancing! On this night, however, Hunter was sent to bed at his regular bedtime and Michaela followed soon after!

Dancing w/ Hunter and Michaela

So, Hunter and Michaela both took naps today. I knew they weren't going down early, so agreed to let them 'sit' and watch "Dancing w/ the Stars" with me. I should have known better. My children don't sit through even the tamest of shows. No couch potatoes here! We are having difficulties downloading video from our camera to the computer. So, I grabbed Hunter's VTech camera he uses for his 'web cast' and convinced my children to put on 'clothing' long enough for me to get this video. I started getting dizzy watching Hunter spin Michaela! Not exactly the most calming bedtime routine!

Happy Grandparents' Day!!!

Wow! Hunter has got to be the consummate performer. What should be a special message to his grandparents becomes a medium for him to plug his own show! Good grief!

Hunter's Web Cast, Episode III

Hunter's friend, Trey, came over as his special guest for his web cast today! I wish I had caught the practice run on video. (Hunter wanted to show Trey how to make the recipe and we needed a 'finished product' to show.) Hunter told Trey, "Now, Trey, don't be nervous." "I'm not." Hunter went on, "Just do your best and be yourself!" LOL! Hope you can hear what they are saying over Michaela!

First Tooth

The last picture of Hunter with his baby smile. He asked Allan to pull his loose tooth tonight.

Allan tied a piece of floss around it. Hunter kept making him count to '8'. Why '8'? I have no idea! Several attempts later. . .

Allan had warned him it would bleed and might hurt. Even after so many tries, Hunter didn't scream or cry! After trying to pull it forward, Allan pulled on the floss from both sides and lifted up. It did bleed a good bit. Don't look at these last pics if you are squeamish!

The tooth.

I had to laugh when I saw this. Hunter has always had such big spaces between his teeth to begin with, it doesn't look much different! The dentist says that's good - less chance he'll need orthodontia. Crossing my fingers! Now if you'll excuse me, the tooth fairy has to make a delivery!
