The Birthday Girl!

Yes I am a Big Deal

It's funny how kids really do think they're the center of the universe. Doting parents, (looks down guiltily) don't help the situation much. Not that I'd know anything about that, my kid is soooo not spoiled. Just ask the stack of birthday gifts setting on the kitchen table waiting for her 3rd birthday tomorrow.

There's one less than there should be right now because I totally caved and let her open one. The toddler sized golf clubs for lefties. Little munchkin will be out on the course looking a fool just like her daddy in no time.

Here's to another fun year of childhood!

Only Child?

*sigh*

I never imagined that I'd just have one child. Chris and I always planned on having two, but then we had our little munchkin.

Turns out, raising kids is hard! Who knew? Our girl is rambunctious, insane, and all around nuts. We're coming to the point, however, where we need to make a final decision about our future family size. Kiddo has started showing signs of wanting to be a big sister, and we're still not sure what to tell her. Even if we do decide to have another one, she's going to have to wait close to a year to start tormenting a sibling. Last I checked, two year olds aren't particularly patient...

Life with a Toddler Prima Ballerina

My two year old little girl has discovered dance. She's been begging me for quite some time to allow her to take classes. I recently relented, and my goodness, it's a whole other world!

The first day of class, I was shocked to see four other little girls there. Wasn't shocked to see them, just shocked to see what they were wearing. Two had on tutus, and three of the four had curled hair. I swear I caught a glimpse of some sparkly lip gloss. Ugh. I'm so not that mom. I'm not a pink or frilly person, and letting my munchkin step into that world terrifies me. If she asks about pageants next I'm going to immediately enroll her in karate.

In any case, she had a great time, seems to be quite good at it, and hasn't asked to have a tutu of her own yet. So far so good!

I've been on a search for cute dancing t-shirts for her that don't emphasize the fluffy frill that is sometimes associated (ok, pretty much always associated with) ballet. I found this cute little tee, and it suits her perfectly:
