The expressive introvert


I love how this picture depicts which child of ours is the serious one and which is the goofy one.

Jocelyn. 
She has a personality that I can't figure out.
She is spunky, dramatic, and giggly. 
She prefers a British accent and is heard saying things like, "Well hello my darlin'!" or "Shall we play a game of Fancy Nancy?" or even "Would you care for some Tea and Crumpets?" 
(Ok, maybe not that last one.)
She speaks very dramatically with heart and character.

She requested a hair-do of sporadically placed buns across her head, each sprayed with pink, blue, and silver glitter paint for crazy hair day at school.
But take a picture of her?! Absolutely not! And don't stare at her either! She can't handle it. She'll break down and cry.
She could definitely be an actress...at an empty theater. 

So, after all my hard work of making their hair just perfect, I was unable to document it due to some extreme shyness. So, I took them to my mom's house. She can bribe her into almost anything. Jocelyn agreed to the picture as long as I was in it! Crazy dramatic girl!

She is like a ticking time bomb. She can be laughing so hard at one moment and within a matter of milliseconds, she can be hysterically crying in pain, usually something to do with her head or stomach, and usually unwarranted. She needs attention. But she doesn't want it. Confusing, I know. I still can't figure it out.

Oh, and Jocelyn can say her alphabet backwards...faster than she can forwards. Don't believe me? You're going to have to, because getting a video of her doing it would involve a visit from CPS. Just not worth it.

Genevieve isn't afraid of a close up!

My crazy girls and I on Crazy Hair Day!
