Fancy New Dress

Lily has often been referred to as “fancy” and this picture of her in a cute Mexican dress that her Aunt got for her really does help back up this belief.

Also, Kisha has become quiet a force with her new iPhone.  This this really is one of the coolest peices of technology to ever be made…artificial hearts have nothing on a device that can update Facebook statuses in the blink of an eye!

When a bar is not a barre.

One recommendation from Michael Olaf (big time Montessori resource) is an infant coordination bar with mirror.  You can buy one from them for a decent amount of money but I wanted to try to make one myself.  I got a glass company to cut a piece of mirror plexiglass for me that I attached to the wall.  I then got a pair of hand rail brackets and attached a nice oak dowel to them.  It worked great and ended up being a about half the price with twice the satisfaction of a job well done.  Lily seems to really like it, though she gets really frustrated sometimes trying to pull herself up.

FYI:  A barre is the term for the bar used in ballet.
