Fancy Nancy and teeth brushing


The kids came back from AZ with new obsessions. For Ellie, it is Fancy Nancy. Fancy Nancy is to 3-5 year olds what Hannah Montana is to older kids. She is all the rage right now. She is a girl who likes to be fancy and use fancy words. There are no Fancy Nancy movies (that I know of) but there are now plenty of books. Of course there are also dolls, accessories, and dress-up clothes. So, with all the dress-up clothes that Ellie received for Christmas, she is able to get really fancy.


Yesterday we went to a Fancy Nancy tea party at Barnes and Noble. It was INSANE how many little fancy girls there were. Attenders were supposed to RSVP, but it was obvious by observing the flustered bookstore staff that they were not ready for such a crowd! There were probably 75 little girls, plus all their moms and some dads. Ellie didn't care that she and her friend had to sit on the floor because there weren't enough spots at the tables. She still had a blast! See how fancy she's holding her cookie? :)


Rowan's new obsession is with brushing his teeth. Every time he passes the bathroom he wants to brush them. I max out at 3 times a day, or I'm afraid his teeth will just be brushed down to nubs. The funniest part is when he is brushing alongside someone else, because he copies everything they do. I love brushing my teeth with him in the morning!




Rowan is not too happy when we take away his toothbrush. Seriously, I snapped this after telling him he couldn't brush anymore, right after that video.

Awww, Ellie looks so fancy! Sounds like a fun tea party. And that's a good little boy to always want to brush his teeth! :)

adorable!!! Fancy Nancy, how cute! :) Your kids are a good mix of you and Jason - it's so fun to see how long Ellie's hair is getting! I think it's so amazing to look at them and see both of you! I am excited we are going to have a little one of our own soon to do the same!

Okay...so, you are going to need stock in batteries with all that brushing! I love seeing how Rowan copies everything Ellie does. But most of all...it's hilarious watching her admire herself in the mirror!!!

Love you...Mom

Your kids are funny! Ellie's such a ham, too. She looks like she's having a blast eating her cookie. Rowan will glow in the dark if he keeps on brushing!!!

Did you let Ellie dress herself for the Fancy Nancy party? She looks like she had fun! I can't believe how big both of them are. That video is so funny, by the way.
