Cymbre Tay

October 22, 2008

Cymbre Tay Flanagan is a fifth grader this year.

Dance shoes in her dance bag tell us that she has recently been seen tap dancing with Mark Goodman, A National Master Tap Dance Teacher. Those same shoes report being autographed by Mark Goodman, and have currently been banished from her dance bag. It seems that they are special, and will be made into a shadow box display of her favorite things.

In other news, stuffed rhinos on the shelf in Cymbre's bedroom report that she has a real live pet rhino, named Rosa. Emails on the home computer reveal that Cymbre receives quarterly updates about Rosa from the preserve where she lives in Sumatra.

Cell phone logs called into report that Cymbre has several sisters, a brother, and a brother-in-law, and sister-in-law that call to talk to her on a regular basis. Cymbre can be heard laughing as they talk to her.

We checked the family computer, and we discovered that Cymbre has her own blog. There she has photos of her rhinos, and leaves messages for her family to read.

Close examination of Cymbre's bedroom reveals that she loves to scrapbook, dance, read, play computer games, and make craft items.

Cymbre recently received her own bedroom for the first time, and the walls report that they got a spiffy new facelift. It has been reported by Dad's paintbrush and Mom's sponge that the walls are now two shades of purple with just a bit of blue.

Cymbre's comb disclosed that her highlights that Aunt Nettie did last March are now really outgrown, and the comb says that the kid needs a trip back to see Aunt Nettie. Then she will need to go see Aunt Sherrie for a new haircut!

Cymbre's smile has suddenly turned pink and blue....at least on her front teeth! Further investigation, but our ITCCB (Investgative Teeth Color Changes Bureau) informs us that she has recently been to the orthodontist for a new wire, and decided to change her rubber bands. Thank goodness, it wasn't Mom's cooking!

This little snuggle bug appears to be getting more FRECKLES! This biased mom thinks they are SO CUTE!! If she were to lay really still and sleep, you could play connect the dots, and maybe draw a really interesting picture....might be like a Picasso though.

Dad needs to be really careful, as if he gets into to much trouble for teasing Cymbre, her rhinos may stampede! That could be tragic considering his office is full of tigers! I'm not quite sure who would win that contest. Dad is constantly seen teasing the little girl, and this editor thinks he plans out things to do to her at work, and then comes home to spring his "one liners" on the poor unsuspecting child. No wonder kids need a Mom!

On that note, I am going to put my foot in the jacuzzi, and then back on ice. This cold front has it very painful....I think it's Ralph's fault because he didn't go to the hospital for my surgery! Dumb Bear!

Love you all,

Mom
