December 21

Today Madisen got to attend The Nutcracker with grandma Carruth. Due to some terrible traffic, they only made it to half of the performance. I'm sure it was a perfect way to ease Madisen into the world of theater. She LOVED it! Upon returning home she promptly changed into her pink ballet outfit complete with tights & her own version of a bun in her hair and then pranced around our living room. Her favorite part was the girl in the pink sparkly outfit with the pink tiara- pictured below- and the lady dressed like a strawberry.
Caitlyn was disappointed, to say the least, that she didn't get to go, too. I decided she needed a special outing so I took her here for a new do. Sweet and Sassy is a fancy, frilly, froofy place for young divas. She was greeted with a pink sparkle star for her cheek & hand. And they sprayed sparkles in her hair after it was cut & styled. The experience was complete with a 'gourmet' turquoise blue sucker. I think she felt pretty special!

As for Brooklyn, she has learned to get herself from crawling to sitting. She's so clever!
