my amazing daughters

my daughters-sssssss. the girls-ssssssssss. it's hard to get used to, saying the plural is still taking some getting used to. nissa: she was playing a game with grandma that involved her stuffed pumpkin and a plastic toy frying pan. 1) she'd throw the pumpkin with the pan with surprising accuracy. 2) she could swing the pan and connect with the pumpkin when it was thrown to her. impressive. later, when we were playing girl rockstar band (with a new "microphone" toy), i had to first clarify that yes, girls can be rock stars. duh. then we were in a band together. the tambourine got boring, so i showed nissa how to play air-guitar. check. then she took the next step for our performance in front of ani: got her imaginary "friends" in on the air-instrument kick by bringing in keyboards, another couple of guitars and a drummer. btw, i feel the need to note that the frequent name of her "best friend" is leela. ani: has been kinda rolling over lately. she can get 90' easy, but with assistance can do 180' rotations. it's that dang shoulder always getting in the way. she'll get there, though.
