watching your kid grow up is an interesting mixture of looking at them and thinking... "oh yeah, apple didn't fall far from the tree" and looking and them and thinking... "who are you and where the hell did you come from?" ava's dance recital video evokes both of these for me...

the looking over her shoulder because she has noooo idea what step is coming next? that's classic cailin. but the hilarious hip wiggles?? that is not my child.
