The other day, Skylar and I went to the track and ran.. It was the coolest thing ever.. She kind of runs like a Muppet, but it was really fun to see her get all jazzed up about getting into the “starting blocks”, and all out sprinting.. as a reward for a fun morning, I took Skylar to the local hardware store (Sky looooves shopping.. any kind of shopping).
She was in a social mood, so she was talking to lots of people…. which I thought was really cute… until she saw the cashier, who was placed in the middle part of the store..
Skylar goes up to the cashier (a tall skinny teenage kid) and says “Why your face all polka dots?” (he had pretty bad acne).
The kid pseudo-chuckled as I apologized and tried to shoo Sky down the closest aisle.
I say to Skylar, “That’s a very mean thing to say Skylar.. and it’s not polite“
She looks pensive and then says “Pleeze, ‘cuse me... But why your face all red polka dots?“.. this time a little louder.. Apparently, it’s polite now because she said “please” and “excuse me”. *sigh*
…and of course, it gets even worse a few minutes later.
We are looking at this mini coy-pond that is inside the store, and an elderly lady hobbles up to Skylar.. She gets really close to Skylar (which Skylar didn’t like), patted her on the head, and said something along the lines of “You are so pretty, dear.. Do you like fish?”
Skylar then pulls away from the lady and makes a “Hmmmph” sound.. I apologize to the short/old lady and I explain how Skylar is shy sometimes. Skylar then says, “I’m not shy, she smells like Fenway (my dog)”
I was horrified, and we got out of the store pretty quickly after that.

Some random pics..
Sky at her dance class..
Vid of Skylar at her gymnastics class..
Skylar “helping” with the leaves.. I think this is how Mommy got a sore back…
Fenway snoozing in front of the stove during Thanksgiving..
Sky’s first haircut (Gina has given her trims before. This is the first time at a salon).
And I’m not sure how to explain this video.. Sky loves talking about bathroom stuff. Here’s just 1 example..
Hope everyone had a great thanksgiving!
