Joey sleeps in what used to be my bed when I was growing up. And, of course, she does the same thing I did as a kid-she uses the decorative toppers from the posts as microphones. Ian had to get in on the action as well since he has to do EVERYTHING his sister does, whether she wants him to or not. So here they are belting out that classic rock ballad, "Where's God When I'm Scared?" by the Veggietales (although Ian is committing the error that all voice teachers warn their students about--eating the mic). They are destined for greatness

Joel and I were goofing around one day...he was laying on the couch and I came up and told him to pretend like he was in a coma and I would try to wake him up. Silly game. I woke him up by lightly tickling his face, which he hates. It was lots of fun. Joey saw us goofing around and wanted to play. She said, "Hey guys, I want to play "comb" too!" So here is Joey acting like she is in a "comb". It doesn't take much to "wake her up", let me tell you!

Joey's Views on Healthy Eating

Most mornings, Joey calls to me from her bed and I go in and lay down next to her so she can tell me what she dreamed about. Today she said she dreamed about horses and goats at a parade where they were throwing horse and goat candy. She reminded me that we eat people candy. I agreed. She then said that we shouldn't eat too much candy, though, or we will get sick. I was thrilled to hear this, thinking that she was actually listening when I doled out these little life lessons. I told her she was so right and said that we need to eat foods that are good for us, like fruits and vegetables, so that we can grow up big and strong. She said, "Yeah, we want to grow up big and strong so we can reach the candy!" (we keep our candy on top of our cabinets out of her reach). Hey, whatever works to get her to eat her veggies!
