Yellow Polkadot Bikini
This is the first draft of her costume. It has been sent back though as it wasn't as the dance teacher invisioned, so we are expecting a smaller two piece in return. I'll take after shots of the outfit when it comes. For Lily's dance routine her jazz group will perfom to the song Yellow Polkadot Bikini. Her hair is actually going to be in high pigtails with ringlets. This kid likes to pose. And for the record, this is STAGE MAKEUP. When you watch a performance live, it doesn't even look like they have makeup on so you have to temper what you're seeing with the fact that she'd be performing on a dark stage.
Trying to fit NO HAIR into a Ponytail ~ Toddler Dress-up time

| Tried to fit a ponytail in, but sooo many short hairs still! |
 |
| When Lily was this age, I could have put 17 ponytails of this size on her head. |

| Eensy weensy ponytail |

| Playing Dress up is tiring work. Passed out on the carpet with her Seal from Canada's Wonderland. |
 |
| This almost NEVER happens. Adorable. |

12/17/2011 ~ Christmas Picture with Santa 2011
83
Lily told me how her teacher mentioned that if anyone heads to Upper Canada Mall for pictures with Santa, to pay the extra couple of dollars and order a "fastpass" online. You print off your pre-paid ticket at home and line up in a separate line than the mall lineup. They alternate one family from the mall lineup, and then one family from the fastpass line. It meant that instead of lining up for what appeared to be a two hour wait, we were in and out of there with photos in hand in about ten minutes. I felt like I stole a cookie from the cookie jar! Best kept secret on earth. And the greatest part is that our picture didn't turn out half bad! No terror Claus this year.

12/16/2011 ~ Spirit Day Assembly & Haircut
82
I took a vacation day to accomplish a few things today. First I dropped the kids off at Kiss N' Ride for school. Started my day with a trip to polish off the stocking stuffer shopping. Then we hit Tim Horton's for a coffee to start my engines and a bunch of berry muffins for the kids to have as an after school snack attack (Lily's request). I had a haircut appointment and took off the dead ends but tried to keep all of my length as I'm working toward my DayZero goal of donating my hair for a wig for a Cancer patient by the summer. It has to reach 12 inches in length before it can be donated. Claire and I ran to Sears to pick up a catalog order and hit McDonalds on the way home. Then I put her for a little nap. When she woke, we went to the school about 40 minutes earlier than we really NEEDED to be there. I signed in at the office and strolled around with Claire. We saw Lily at recess and her friends swooned over how adorable Claire is. Then we went to Griffin's Kindergarten pen where all the boys were yelling for me to pass them the basketball that went over the fence so I passed it to Griffin and he beamed from ear to ear. I don't get to do these stay-at-home-Mom kind of things very often. I loved it. Next time I hear a SAHM vent, I might throw up a little bit in my mouth. Getting to volunteer in your children's classroom, that's the stuff dreams are made of in my world. Claire and I made our way to the gym where we got front row seats and I took a few pictures of the gym murals while she made friends with a baby girl a year her junior, but bigger than Claire. Griffin's class was parked directly in front of me, so I couldn't really see his face for the performance but it was so great being there. Lily's class was centered in the room and I got great footage of her dance. My camera wouldn't focus when she was at the mic to introduce the kindergarten performance but it's burned into my memory. Griffin's class wore their pajamas and Santa hats. They held gingerbread men that they made and sang a Christmas song. Lily's class tried to dress like Pioneers. They have been doing a grade three unit on pioneers and performed a traditional pioneer dance. She did a great job. Proud day to be a Mommy today.
