Gigi and Tess are getting BIG! They are 6 months and in that stage where they are neither crawling nor walking, can roll over. Gigi hops like a bunny, and Tess still likes to use her hands a lot.
But the fact is that any small amount of time where they are occupied is great.
Jordan bought a tank, that's what we call it, for the girls. Gigi immediately loved it and started driving around the apartment. It's like those baby floaties... the kids think they can swim when they can't.
Next we bought an activity center, its one of those funny looking contraptions that you can bounce in and that has lots of gadget's to play with. Tess immediately started bouncing like crazy and Gigi went over to her in her "tank" and they laughed and laughed. They howled, they screetched, they went wild. It was like the first time they had really seen one another.
Win one for the girls being occupied for more than five minutes!
Now at work Jordan is under a lot of stress. A new company is running her division, and the executive at the company base, a woman, is simply not happy with how Jordan's running things. Constant notes, constant second guessing, constant pressure to change. But the fact is Jordan's a good manager, fair, open, teaching those she manages and wanting them to do well. When I used to go on commercial shoots with her father, he was on the client side but very liberal and open. Unlike many of the other executives, he didn't try andc control every little piece of the shoot. He'd let the creative team do what they did. When you try and over control, you kill the baby with the bathwater.
It's like anything in life, the more you try and control, the more things get out of control!
