This is by far one of my favorite videos of Alexa! She gets in these moods where she "tells" us exactly what she's thinking and she's VERY adamant about it. Definitely in your best interest to listen to what she has to "say" especially when she's on her very own "soap box"!!! It's pretty funny...she sure knows how to make us laugh!
Picture it, Sicily, 1912...okay, not really...but how 'bout Leavitt, Alberta, Canada, 1980, and I (Collette) am standing in the center of my Grandma Leavitt's kitchen table, singing "Chunky" Roads (aka Take Me Home, Country Roads by John Denver). It was my favorite, or so I'm told. I could barely talk but apparently could sing this song!! I don't remember being such a ham (I guess we know where Alexa gets it though!!), but my Grams did record it for posterity so I know for a fact that it actually happened. I'd be singing for everyone to hear and then would say "evwebody cwap" and then would start singing again.
Well, since we live so close to West Virginia, I really wanted to go there (for those of you who are not familiar with the song, it is about WV) and when my mom found out we were going, she insisted that I HAD to sing the song again. So here it is...American Idol, here I come!!! JUST kidding!!
Last Friday, we had some very beautiful, almost summer-like weather AND Kevin had the afternoon off from school....so we took advantage of both and went to the park. Alexa had sooo much fun being outside. She gets quite upset now when we have to go back indoors. We're definitely looking forward to more days like this one!
I forgot I took this video of Alexa checking out her Easter basket on Easter morning. She was still in her just waking up state where we usually cuddle for a few minutes before she's ready to eat breakfast, but as soon as she saw the little shopping cart, she wasn't content to just cuddle on the couch!
