Practicing for American Idol














We are getting some pretty good mileage from this $10 keyboard from CVS. It gets used much more than its pink n purple disney princess counterpart.

Color sense + leg warmers + beach sandals = crazy outfits











Crazy outfits. Sometimes we(that's the royal we, at the princess trainer) change our clothes many times per day. Lately, we have found her in different pajamas in the morning. Different than those she had on when she was put to bed. Jammies with socks AND leg warmers.

A few more




Prepping for the dance recital in May

Here is Mary modeling her 'Ao Yai' (traditional Vietnamese dress)., that was given to her by Monique.

And this is the costume that she will wear in the ballet recital. Her class will be doing one 'ballet' dance, and one tap dance routine... same costume, Her first 15 minutes of fame!

Growing up so quickly
















The dentist appointment

The photos are in reverse order, scroll down for the dentist office photo... one day I will remember that blogger puts the last photos first in the post.














This past Monday, Mary had 2 of her 4 cavities filled. She was as she herself stated, BRAVE, and a real trooper!


Here are the during and after photos. Also a few of M. wearing an interesting pajama combo, which, incidentally, is not the same pajamas that she had on when we put her to bed! This is a new past time of hers, changing her pajama choice after lights out.Why, because she can!
you can see the discarded pajamas on the chair !

The costume for the upcoming ballet recital












The Ballet recital, a necessary evil, and perhaps the biggest scheme to separate you from your $$$.

Dance classes, $130 quarterly,

Recital costume, $65,

Recital fee, $55,

Photo of child in recital costume, at least $30,
Flowers for child on recital day, market price,

Potential need to bribe said child with a toy if she refuses to wear the costume on recital day,$ to be determined,

Seeing your child and the 4 other girls in her class all dancing to their own beat, priceless !

Fun at the hair cuttery
















Ok, so it's not Frederik Fekkai, but Mary enjoyed the hair cut experience. For some reason, she was very animated and funny this time!

Valentine's Day dinner at Japanese restaurant
















we were going to go to olive garden, but it was too crowded. Fuji was $$$$ but yum!

Random photos pre ballet class
















We had a post ballet class tantrum in the food store. It involved the hooded jacket she is wearing. She threw it on the floor in the store and sprinted from the front to the back of the store, yelling and screaming! Not that sweet little girl?! Hah. Food store mission was completed, but not without major drama!
