Stephen Dancing



Stephen was holding Tia Evis' phone up to his ear and dancing all morning. Then they put some music on the big stereo and he kept dancing, here while sitting in a chair, but without giving up the telephone. 

Guys, Quiet, Guys!

Sarah, from back seat:

Hey guys, be quiet! I'm trying to sleep! ... Stop talking guys! ... Hey guys, be quiet! ... Be quiet, I'm trying to sleep! ... Guys, don't talk, I'm sleeping!

Mama: Sarah, no-one is talking besides you.

Let's Sing Everybody

Sarah, from back seat of car:

Ok guys, it's time to sing. If you wanna dance, that's fine. If you wanna sing, that's fine. But it's time to sing. Let's sing everybody. (Starts singing). Hey guys! Listen to me! Sing! (Sings, continues to try to get everyone to sing.)

Stephen: Aaaahh uhhhh uhhhh (trying to sing)

Tia Graciela's House

Stephen started a new variant on his favorite game today while at Tia Graciela's house: throwing the ball, specifically under the coffee table.

He was suffering from a bit of "mamitis" and looked like he just barely remembered his family members from that household but warmed back up to Tia Karen and everyone over the course of a half hour, until he was walking around the room confidently again.

Sarah stayed at Tia Evis' house, preferring to watch Dora on the television rather than leave the house.
