My Little Ballerina

Lydia has wanted to try out dance for awhile now. She doesn't walk around the house anymore, she dances and cartwheels and flips around the house, so I decided it was time. For her birthday we bought some new dance outfits and tap shoes for dance. As soon as she started her class she loved it. I just might have a dancer on my hands, and I REALLY don't know what to do with that.

Hmmm . . .

Wow, how long has been since I blogged, let me answer that FOREVER! New goal, update once a week. Not sure if it is possible, but I'm going to try.

On to what prompted the post . . . Lydia. She walks up to me and says I know how to spell "pee" (like going the bathroom). Granted she was watching Super Why on TV and they were spelling words, so I think that is the root of this. She says, it is spelled P-E-Y-A. Wait, an "A" at the end. Has she thought pee was really peya with an a sound at the end of the word her whole life? I must be an excellent Mom not to have taught her at least the basics! Oh well, I'm sure there will be plenty more of these moments to come.

My 6 Year Old

Lydia turned 6 on April 5th. She was so excited to turn 6 and she kept saying how much bigger and older she was now. She is such a sweet girl and loves her family very much. She loves to draw, do puzzles, be "girly" (as you will see later, she had to wear makeup to her party . . . oh boy)and just be creative. I guess she takes a lot after me, except the sweet part, I don't know where she got that. She loves her little brother, but I'm not sure he always loves the attention.

So this year she requested a rainbow party. Rainbows, . . . okay. We went to the party store and luckily found some untraditional rainbow colors that she loved. With this theme in mind I decided to do rainbow cupcakes. They were a little work but turned out really great. Here are some pictures from the party.
