We needed a relaxing day. It's been crazy around here. Still trying to get settled and situated and I decided to go off and join CrossFit for some crazy reason. (Ok actually, I kinda like it, most days :) I still haven't sorted our road trip pics or anything :( Anyhoo. It was nice to soak up some sunshine with Miss P.<br />

She really understands the holiday's this year so it was a ton of fun. She couldn't decide what she wanted to be so Gram made her a pirate costume. Payton loved it.<br />

Disneyland was a ton of fun as usual. Payton danced with Chip and Dale and rode her first real roller coaster. Big Thunder Mountain. She saw the Choo Choo train and wanted to go. I figured she clears the height requirement by a good couple inches so what the hey? She'll love it or it will be the last Choo Choo she rides for a while. Well, she LOVED it. We also hit a couple kiddy rides and Star Tours. She really enjoyed all the rides. I think she might just be my best Disneyland buddy yet. Lets not forget about Rapunzel!!! </div>

More princesses. I really tried hard not to really encourage the princess stage but I guess it's the whole rebelling thing. But she loves her fair share of Peter Pan and the pirates too so... It's manageable. I'm just embracing it now. :) </div>

Today Payton started ballet. I was going to wait and post about it chronologically after our road trip recap but by then, I may not remember every detail that made today special, the beginning of our new journey. <br />
<br />
Ever since I found out I was having a girl, I could not wait to get her dance shoes and put her in dance. I dreamt about it all the time. Dance was my life until I joined the Coast Guard and can't wait to finish healing so I can pick back up. I won't force Payton to dance, but I figured it wouldn't hurt her to try. She has awesome rhythm and already performs so... <br />

We woke up this morning and asked her if she wanted to go to ballet 'yes, I'm a ballerina' my heart melted. She got all dressed ready to go. She was excited, I was an anxious wreck. The best part is her teacher is one of my favorite tap teachers from back when. When class was ready to start the teacher took Payton by the hand and walked her into the studio and placed her at the bar. Payton looked so comfortable like she was meant to be in there. She did her plies and twirled and pointed her toes. Yes, I was on the verge of crying. The happy kind though. For the most part she listened and followed directions. As much as you can expect from her first structured lesson. I'm so proud of her for trying something new and not being afraid. However, if I get this emotional over ballet, I'm a goner next year when she starts tap.

I'm officially a civilian now, and we're moving back to California. It's very bittersweet for me. The past six years in the Coast Guard and (almost) three years have been an interesting ride and looking back on it all amazes me. How much Payton and I went through, good and bad. How much she's grown into a little girl, how much I've even grown as a mom and every other role I have. As excited I am to move on with our life and move to California, I am extremely sad. All our memories we made in Virginia with our military family. They were so much more than just friends to us. You were there for us and let us be there for you. I am eternally grateful for you and can't wait to see you all again. (I may be secretly praying you guys all get stationed back on the west coast :) <br />

We're driving cross country with my mom. I'm excited. My mom drove with me to Virginia to check me into my first real unit and she gets to come on this journey again. Only with a mini me too :) We're taking our time visiting family and seeing random places we probably wouldn't otherwise.<br />

Remember <a href="http://macnekos.blogspot.com/2011/07/mini-maxi-dress.html">last year's</a>? And the <a href="http://macnekos.blogspot.com/2011/07/im-guest-blogging-whoohoo.html">tutorial here</a>. I'm sloooowwly getting more confident to make Payton things with out a pattern. So here goes round two of a maxi. I had a concept and design and went with it. I'm hoping to make another soon and maybe a tutorial with it. It's not a full length maxi. But if I made it to the floor, she would be on the floor. Payton isn't the most graceful. But it's still a fun length.<br />

I asked Payton if she used scissors and she looks down and points at them and said "yes, see, cut." Great.<br />

Ok so easy fix. It was getting a little short on her anyways. I've seen quite a few 'turn a shirt into a dress tutorial' and I didn't feel like sifting through them. (Although there are some good ones.) I just winged it and here's how:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
:: You will need two t-shirts (one that fits your child in the top and an adult sized) I used a 4t and a women's medium. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Measure from your child's underarm to where you would like the dress to fall. Depending on how big of a ruffle you want and how long your adult shirt is, will depend on how far down to cut the {pink} shirt. Make sure to measure and cut from the hem up for the ruffle. Yay no hemming!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Gather the top of the mid section and size it to the bottom of the {pink} shirt. Sew or serge right sides together. Do the same for the ruffle to the bottom of the mid section. Tip: if you're sewing instead of serging, use a stretch stitch.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Iron your seams down and topstitch. I used a regular straight stitch on this part and it turned out okay but I would use a stretch stitch next time. </div>

There's just something that I love about that small fishing town. I got to spend a couple weeks there and in Rockport back in 2001. There is a little bit of family history there from my dad's side and with it being a small town, kinda feel like I'm around family even though I didn't know many of them. I know, weird. Anyways, I just like the feel of the town. I'm sure if I was there and it was snowing, I would be singing another tune. We didn't go too far into the town, mostly walked on the waterfront and had a yummy lunch at a local brewery.<br />

We did adventure down to the beachy area. (Not like a California beach) Payton was really excited to get out of the stroller and go to the water. Until her toes got about four feet from the sand. Then she did this:</div>

Made a 180 and booked it over those rocks. Those aren't dancing arms folks. Those are her power walking arms (she couldn't run at the time) I'm thinking <s>her</s> my dream for her of being a beach volleyball player might need to be altered a smidge if this keeps up. I'll give her another year, or five :)</div>

Luckily my Dr let me fly to Cali for the rest of my recovery. (Two story house+ 2 year old+ mommy on crutches= Disaster!) Okay, so we flew into San Diego for the holiday. Monday we met up with some a long time friend and her kiddos at the park. It was my first time trying to photograph since surgery. It was killing me to just sit there. Needless to say it was interesting trying to balance on one foot, hold on to my crutches so they wouldn't fall and take a decent shot. Let's just say any artistic ability I had, yea that's on hold for 4 more weeks.<br />

Payton and I enjoyed a nice relaxed day. Some video chatting with the family back in California included. Being a military family and so far away, video chatting really helps get us through till we can see them again. We decided to get one more park trip in before I have foot surgery this week.<br />

Ending with Payton giving her a birthday hug.

I'm quite proud of that little fact. Anyways, yep fever. Wasn't too bad but didn't take any chances. We got home and rested and her fever ended up breaking a couple hours later. (Thank you Tylenol) Since I noticed Payton cruising around my sewing room trying to get into things, I figured it was ok to get out of the house a bit. It was 80 and sunny on March 1st here in VA. I thought I was back home in Cali for a bit.<br />

She is no longer enrolled in early intervention. It's bittersweet for me. I'm so happy and proud of her that she's caught up to her age and beyond, but I enjoyed her sessions because I learned so much about her development and where she needs to go. She's still a little behind (by 1-3 months) in gross motor but that's because she's super cautious. Everything else, she is 30-36 months yay! And when she was asked if she was a boy or girl, she answered 'Pirate' :)<br />

Today for example we went and she could walk up the steps alone and go down the slides without needing a catcher. It's sad that she's growing so fast but it's a fun adventure all the same.<br />

It's tiring, she wakes up at a different time each night, 5am, 2:30am and last night was before I even fell asleep. So I go pick her up, her blanket and Minnie in tow, to comfort her and poor little one was all sorts of congested. I tell her we're going to go get her some medicine and some water and she replies 'okay.' She's never responded like that, I love how her vocabulary is changing into conversational and using it in context. But what was even better was her tone in the reply. The sound of trust and comfort that she was with me and everything was going to be ok, she was going to feel better. We went and got her a little medicine to help her nose and water and proped her up in my bed and we snuggled and chatted. Yes, I chat with my two year old. She finally got settled in and comfy and I asked her if she wanted to hold my hand and we did just that. She held my hand till she fell asleep. Palm to palm and her fingers are just long enough to reach to the other side of my hand. What a difference to just wrapping it around one of my fingers what seems like not too long ago. The same hand she uses to hold mine when she's walking up steps or stairs and squeezes with all her little strength trusting I'm there to help her over those obstacles. Being a mom is tough, being a single mom is even more tough at times, but I wouldn't trade anything for having that little hand to hold when she needs.Cassandrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09865766355181285810noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35889308.post-1735250404795922732011-10-31T10:13:00.000-07:002011-10-31T10:13:52.814-07:00A New TopI just wanted to share a fun little top I made for Payton a little while ago...<br />

I've been wanting to for some time now but nervous if she would hold still enough etc. Well, yesterday I was cleaning out my cosmetic stuff and was testing a polish and Payton walks up to me with her hand out ready to get hers painted. I about died laughing. It was so cute. And she was in her tutu and dress up to boot. :) So, anyways I decided to go for it today and see how she reacted.<br />
