Cutest thing ever? I think so. Grampa Greg is the meet director for the Simplot Games, so Dej got a cute little T-shirt for this year. This picture is one of my favorites! 
So random story as of lately.... Deja had her first try at Nursery a few weeks ago. She went in great and seemed to be getting along fine without mom or dad. I was so excited! I was so nervous about this day....like for weeks in advance. I didn't want Dej to get scared or sad, or to have other kids be mean to her. Well... none of the above happened, But...with about 20 minutes left in Relief Society, I looked over at the door and there was the nursery leader with Dej. I figured she had a poopy diaper, so I go out into the hall and before I can even get the door closed the nursery leader tells me that Deja keeps hitting all the other little kids (as I hear screaming coming from down the hall....results of her hitting) and it is just too much for them. I about died. I felt so bad, and weirdly, I was embarrassed that my cute, sweet little girl was a bully! Sooo....we got 'kicked out' of that class....luckily for us, our ward has FOUR different nurseries. We worked hard all week long on being NICE. I came to the conclusion that Dej was playing rough because that is how she plays with her Only playmate....Teva. So, we worked and worked on being soft and nice. This last Sunday, we tried out the older class and Dej did great!!! The leaders told me there was a little bit of taking toys, etc....but that it was shared by all the kids and that Deja fit in perfectly and did awesome!! Hooray!!! A few other funny little things came from our boot camp week of being Nice...... when I change Dej's diaper on her changing table, she loves to grab ahold of my arm....hug it in close to her face and then kiss it. It is seriously so sweet and cute....she even smacks her lips as she kisses. Then.....a few nights ago, we were eating dinner. Dej kept feeding Teva everything on her plate....so I finally threw Stinky outside. When I sat back down by Deja I told her to take a bite now. She put the bite in her mouth, gave me the Deja look...which, if you know Dej you've seen it.....the look she gives you when she gets her way or when she is about to do something naughty. I warned her to not do it...to chew and swallow...but she didn't listen and took the bite out of her mouth and threw it on the floor. I told her no, we don't do that....so we tried again, and again she threw the bite on the floor...so I slapped her hand (that's been Chase's way of disciplining and it's seemed to work...so I've been trying to be consistent with him....) and told her No...we don't throw our food on the floor. She then looked up at me, with a very serious face and said "BE NICE". I about died....I was trying sooo hard to not let her see me smile. I asked her 'what?' and again she told me to Be Nice. Haha....I guess maybe it's kinda sunk in???
