Tutus, tumbling, and trash oh my!

So I am determined that this time I really will do better at blogging at least once a week. I know that like 3 of my 4 posts say that, but now that we have early church I am determined to post on Sunday afternoons..

We started Alianna's Movers and Shakers class with the parks and rec today. It was hilarious. Highlights include Alianna laughing her head off and clapping while the other kids cried sitting in the parachute, going thru the tunnel about 50 times, and the look of true elation on Alianna's face when she found a princess ball amongst the 30 other balls. The princess ball reminded me of a project I had sitting in the garage for "when she's older". I was walking around Joanns one day and saw tulle on sale for 75 cents a yard. In a moment of mania and/or brillance I decided that I was going to make her a tutu when she was older and started getting into princesses and dress up. After the elation over the princess ball today I decided there was no time like the present. One hour of naptime later and voila! It isn't the most beautiful tutu I've ever seen but Alianna thinks it's AWESOME!Even as we were changing into jammies for bed she had to have it back on and dance around a little more.In closing I'd like to impart some knowledge we learned the hard way. In a home with a one year old, it is not smart to throw away a cool whip container that still has a little on the sides. It is even less smart to throw said container in a trash can that is easily accessible to said one year old while your mistakenly think you can run to the bathroom for "just a minute"....I'm not sure the pics do it justice. She had licked around the bowl she that the other end got in her hair or on her shirt. One big sticky mess..
