Today was Mabel’s school Christmas program and it was downright fun. She’s been singing these songs (loudly) at home for the past couple of weeks. Now I finally understand why (this was all a surprise for the parents).

Earlier this year, after watching the original Star Wars trilogy, Mabel announced that she wanted to be Darth Vader for Halloween, and that mama and daddy would be her soldiers (aka storm troopers). We laughed it off, thinking that by the time Halloween rolled around, she would’ve found something else to pique her interest. Well, we grossly underestimated the power of the dark side, because not only was she Darth Vader for Halloween, but she also went trick-or-treating to the sound of The Imperial March set to repeat. To top it off, mama added Tie fighter wings to her ride and viola! A new Sith lord was born. I give you…Darth Mabel.

Mabel came home from school today with some of her work to proudly show us. It was all very fun, lots of drawings and cut paper art. But my favorite was her writing.
Our church had a talent show for the primary kids and Mabel took some of her Lego creations to share with everyone. The video is not that great, but rest assured, she was immensely proud of her creations.
I usually drop off Mabel at school most mornings. One day she started singing and I thought I’d record it, so I asked her to sing it again. She did, but not without telling me to pay attention this time.
