So many things that I have wanted show and tell, yet something always gets in the way. Ally had her first train ride at the park today. She really enjoyed it. We have recently entered the MINE, MINE, MINE stage and boy it is not fun. She is a terror sometimes, but then turns around and does something so amazing that you can't be mad any more. We have our genetics testing and sleep study in 2 weeks, and, more importantly Ally's birthday party in 1 week!

Yes you read right, she is going to be 2 already. Feels great and awkward at the same time. Great because she is alive and doing well, but awkward because it has happened so fast. We have been informed that she will be getting some type of braces for her legs and neck to help with her balance and bowlegs, and falling, and running into things. We have been told that one of her legs is longer than the other and that is the reason for all her walking "troubles". this is something I noticed when she was 5 months old, but dismissed it as normal... whoops!

I had a great time with my mother yesterday at "Momma Mia" in Tulsa. we sang and danced and had a great time together. Even at 33 a momma/daughter day is treasured! I will leave you with one piece of advice that I heard a 7-8 year old girl telling 2 others in all seriousness... "Never put the butter knife in the toaster......."
