That's Really Too Big...
...while curled up in her day bed together,
Ruby starts counting the freckles on my arm.
"1... 2... 3... 4... -- 7..."
then she pauses & I'm thinking that she's realizing she's forgotten a number or two,
so I wait patiently, proud as punch that she's working it out in her head,
when finally she opens her mouth & says:
"That's really too big!"
as she's pointing to the largest of my arm freckles.
LMFAO!
(care to guess which dot was the culprit?)
hehehehe
I nearly peed my pants it was SO FUNNY!
Did NOT see that coming!

Adventures In Ballet... *UPDATE*
Today, my little girl starts her adventures in ballet.
Working at the YMCA affords me an array of choices when it comes to programs for Ruby.
First, she chose 'teeny tiny tumblers'...
...which for the first 3 classes was a hit.
After that?
Well, let's just say that the Y is very forgiving for a child who does not complete all the classes paid for & gives credit towards whatever next class the child is interested in.
THANK GAWD!
Just because I work there does not mean that classes are free.
Less expensive than everyone else?
Sure.
But free?
Not so much.
So, today, as I sit here & type this, Ruby is talking to Bear about her new class:
"Bear, you not go with me honey ok?
Ruby hafta do it by self an you stay with Momma, ok?
Ruby hafta go a ballet class and listen to Miss. Darcy, Bear not go.
It ok Bear, Ruby always come back..."
The ballet room is one room down from the childcare room where I work.
Simply put, I'll walk her down to the class, hug & kiss her goodbye, wish her luck, remind her to LISTEN to Miss. Darcy & tell her I'll be back in 45 minutes...
Momma always comes back.
Yes, I have my camera.
Yes, I'll attempt a picture.
Yes, I'll post it here upon returning home at 1pm today.
Stay tuned...
Adventures in Ballet are merely hours away...
*smile*
*UPDATE*
Behold, my extremely happy little ballerina & her faithful companion, Bear:
Patiently waiting for Momma to say, "let's go to class honey."
"I know Bear, it'll be any minute, I promise!"
"What's that Momma? It's time?!"
"NOW THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN' BOUT!"
"C'mon Momma, I don't want to be late!"
"So this is the window you get to look through, huh Momma?"
"Awww Bear, don't be nervous, I'm right here."
"Momma is my skirt on straight?"
"WOW CHECK OUT THE SIZE OF THIS ROOM!"
"Momma LOOK! THEY HAVE MIRRORS!!!"
"Yep, a girl can really feel at home here!"
"Thanks Miss.Darcy, a GREEN STAR! NICE!!"
"Momma, can we come back again tomorrow?"
*Ruby LOVED IT SO MUCH she literally CRIED when I came to pick her up
after the 45 minute class with Miss. Darcy.
She is beyond DISTRAUGHT that she has to wait till next Monday to go again.
Who ever thought a weekly ballet schedule was best,
was NOT THINKING LIKE A 3 YEAR OLD!
DAILY PEOPLE, DAILY!!!
hehehe

But wait, there's more... *UPDATE*
So we're out trick or treating tonight...
and last year, we only hit maybe a half dozen houses, IF that.
This year,
she was TOTALLY into this whole 'TRICK OR TREAT' gig
and not only did we hit close to three dozen houses,
BUT my girl was NOT AFRAID OF THE SPOOKY HOUSES!
(Mine being ONE OF THEM!)
Every year I play this CREEPY ASS CD OF SOUNDS,
SCREAMS,
CHAIN SAWS ETC...
AND IT'S SO INSANE IT EVEN SCARES SOME OF MY GROWN FRIENDS!
So I sit down with Ruby & explain to her what the CD is,
why I play it and that it's "NOT REAL"
and only make believe to help people celebrate Halloween.
Ok,
she said she understood...
but the true test will be when we play it.
(ON REPEAT PLAY ON THE HIGHEST VOLUME
FOR ALL OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO HEAR!)
Yes, I'm one of THOSE neighbors...
So, she's dressed,
we're ready and I say
"Ok Ruby,
it's time for the Halloween CD,
are you ok with that?"
She looks at me,
smiles and walks over to the CD player herself
& hits PLAY.
Then says
"Ok Momma,
time a rock & roll...
time a trick or treat night!"
No lie, I stood there flabbergasted!
But wait, there's more!
So we're making our rounds of the neighboring streets
& there's this house around the corner that,
every year,
is COMPLETELY BEYOND CREEPY!
They go to EXTRA LENGTHS to scare the piss out of ADULTS,
never mind kids!
So we're approaching said house & I say to miss Ruby,
"Ruby, this next house is kinda scary,
do you want to go or would you like to go to the next house?"
My daughter replies:
"No go a next house Momma, go THIS HOUSE!"
So, I repeat to her the gist of this house:
"Ruby, are you really sure?
This house is pretty scary and it's ok if you don't want to go."
She looks at me as if I'm brain damaged,
(which, I am but that's a blog for another day...)
and says to me, quite impatiently:
"Momma, scary house NOT REAL!
It trick or treat night! RUBY GO A HOUSE!"
Well hush my beak...
my 3 year old put me in my place faster than you can say dame bramage.
OY VEY!
Pictures to follow, have to still empty the camera... but gonna watch Kid Nation first!
Stay tuned... more later.
;)
HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYBODY!
*UPDATE* PICTURES!!
My little monkey with her faithful friend, Bear-O-Lantern
LOVE that all you can see in this shot is her goofy most beautiful smile!
PRICELESS!
Ok, notice how now I'm starting to get 'the look' from her?
The look that says:
"Momma, you take one more picture of me
& I'm gonna ram this banana so far down your throat... "
(baby bumble bee played by my beautiful niece,
Isabella, who didn't sting once!)
Oh, I'm sorry, you want something to take a picture of?
Here, how bout this?
Or, even better yet,
check out my ABC food!
(Already Been Chewed!)
BOGUS!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN FROM OUR ANIMAL HOUSE TO YOURS!

"A Green Ballerina, Momma..."
...is the answer I got when I asked Ruby:
"Sweetie, what would you like to be for Halloween?
hee hee
I think she makes a beautiful one!
Clip on earrings & all!
Oooh, and what green princess wouldn't be complete
WITHOUT HER VERY OWN HAND MADE SPIDER!
She's very proud of that one!
hehehehe
