Ashley is fantash-lee.

Okay so we call Ashley, "Ashley fantash-lee" and today let me say she was fantastic!!! She had her Christmas program at school this morning. Her and her little friends all did so good. They were all dressed like stars and sang "twinkle, twinkle little star." The "Jesus" version. At the end of Ashley's song she said "momma you so proud of me?" I said yes we did our thumbs up. That is something that started with Emily and soccer. Anyway as she got off the stage she pulled on her shirt and said "mommy I am a ROCK STAR." This is awesome, we are not rock stars around here and do NOT pretend to be. It was all on her own and everyone around us herd her and was laughing. It was fantastic!! I need to figure out how to post video from the "real" video camera.

It was a great performance, Michael could not make it because it was during the day but it was so cute. Cindy and Irelynn(the cousin) did come. Ashley had mixed feelings about that but it meant a lot that Cindy came. Straight after Ashley had her party. I love her school the teachers all seem nice, and love the kids. Ashley has been doing really well since starting school, less spankings, not getting into trouble as much. Even her ballet teacher has noticed an improvement in her behavior.

Later this day it has started to rain everyone is freaked out it is going to turn to ice. Everything was shutting down early. Umm, No I have SHIT to do. There is no nice way to say it, it is pissing me off. I was mad at the bank for closing early and Ashley replied with "its okay momma I will be your friend." (let me clarify I did not swear in front of my kids.) Thank you Ashley I was worried about loosing friends when the roads are icey!!!

Tonight I put her to bed she took a nap today so she is not sleepy and she says trying to prolong going to bed. "Momma tell me about Jesus dying on the cross, and Easter." Melt my heart, isn't that so sweet. Emily has always been our bible thumper, Jesus girl. Ashley not so much. But I really feel that this Christian pre-school is really opening her eyes to God in away we have not been able too. With Emily it was so easy. Or maybe Ashley is so "different" that she just is NOW ready. I love it. She loves to read her bible. And sing "I am in the LORDS army." At the top of her lungs I might add.
Anyway this is a lot to post about Ashley.

A lady behind us in the performance said "its a good thing they are all so cute." And I said "yes so they can all live to see another day."
