Singing in the Rain

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.

Missed the Bed?

Apparently my children passed out and missed their beds.
