Showtime for Jessie
This requires a bit of explanation, so… Jessie is in Little Gym’s dance class, which is a mixture of ballet and tap and gymnastic movement.

Scenes from the Day
My children are chicken-fried nuts. Jacob is chaotic at times, but underneath that boy who’s running around screaming and pretending to be a robot is a very keen mind.
