Demolition Time... Maybe???

I finally got my videos to upload, but before you start reading this new post, please refer to the post just before this one.  My friends Hope and Ava need your prayers.
*********************************************************

The mission was simple... or so I thought.  Marissa and Daddy were having a blast building towers out of blocks and then Marissa would knock them down.  Pretty typical,  but Marissa was extra cute, in my opinion (biased, I know).  The way Jeremy showed the tower to her beforehand, how she reacted after he released her and how she acted after she knocked it down - priceless.  




So, I ran to grab my camera for the next round.  It used to be that Marissa would just clam up when the camera came out.  Now it is the exact opposite.  She now pulls out every weapon in her "cute arsenal", signing every sign she knows, saying every word she can say, dancing, and general hamming it up for the camera. So much that she distracts herself from the mission at hand.  






Thus, you get the next three videos:









Let me explain ahead of time the reason I sound insane when I am cackling at the end of this next video.  If any of you are familiar with the Veggie Tales, Larry the Cucumber sings a hilarious song called "I Love My Lips".  I put this song on thinking that it would distract Marissa from the camera and she would get the job done.  Toward the middle of the song, Larry starts singing gibberish.  During this part in the past, I would always sing along with the song and shake my head around in an exaggerated manner.  Marissa never attempted to imitate me until now.  I think she does a great job, especially cute when she wiggles her tongue.









She did it!  Yay!!
