Acting Classes

Who needs Acting Classes when you have a small child in your life to teach you all about drama and exaggeration and putting on a show? Oh, Shelly is so good at it, its hard for me not to smile when she's moaning and rolling around on the floor because she's "so hungry" or "needs a tissue." We just ate. She knows where the tissues are. The list goes on... I just remind her that if she's not feeling well she needs to take a nap and usually she's feeling better right away. Sometimes it persists and then we have nap time. That unfailingly solves all our problems. Archer knows better, most of the time, so this is just a Shelly lesson right now.

Look at that sweet face in the picture, who couldn't smile at her, even if she is starving, can't play with the toy she wants, or just can't decide what game to play next? Oh, the tough things in life!

(Shelly just saw this picture and said, in the sweetest voice ever, "Why am I like that?")
