The Young and the Clueless

So lately to occupy herself and Carter when they are in the car, Alyssa has been making up little skits. She calls her show The Young and the Clueless and uses her silly bands as characters. It is hiliarious! You have to hear the drama in her voice to really appreciate it. If I didn't know any better I would say they must be letting them watch soap operas at summer camp.

Todays show went something like this..."On this episode of The Young and the Clueless..."

Penguin: Elephant, I cannot love you.
Elephant: Well why not?
Penguin: I need to live where it is cold so it will never work out.
Elephant: You are right because I need to live where it is warm.
Penguin: What will we do?

"Coming up on the next episode of The Young and the Clueless...What do Penguin and Elephant do?"

Alyssa is so talented and has always had a great imagination. She already uses her talents singing on the worship team on Wednesdays and being a puppet for the puppet dramas for the preschoolers. I can't exactly put into words the excitement I feel for her because I know God has big plans for her (Jeremiah 29:11) and that He is going use her talents for His glory.

On a side note since I am already talking about Alyssa's imagination....

My favorite memory of her at about 3 years old is her imaginary friends. They went everywhere with us. She had quite the entourage. They were in two groups, "The Boys" and "The Girls." In the boys group was Woody, Buzz, Peter (as in Pan), Chuckie (as in Cheese), Chinny and Ninny (those two are kind of random.) Then the girls were TinkerBell, Jesse and all the Disney Princesses. One day I had gotten her strapped in her carseat to go somewhere. As I started driving down the street she starts yelling, "Mommy! You left the boys! Look they are hanging on the side of the car, they want in!" I told her I wasn't pulling over to let the boys in and she got upset. So I told her I would roll the window down and they could jump in. This did the trick. They apparently jumped in because she said, "Good job boys, you made it!"

I never want to forget that memory!
