I tried to get on to my blog for half the day yesterday, but they were "updating" apparently. We shall see if there's much of a difference from this end.

Accalia's last dance class went well. The girls could invite people to come and watch. Cory wasn't able to get off from work today, but he did come to part of her class earlier. Accalia had painted a picture of a ballerina and wanted to give it to her teacher. So, on the paper I wrote "To Stephanie, From Accalia". When we got to the studio, Accalia asked where her teacher was and I pointed to Stephanie sitting behind the reception desk. Then Annie, a high school girl that has helped out with class for the last few times came in, and Accalia handed the picture to her. Talk about awkward! So I told Annie that Accalia had painted this ballerina for her and Stephanie, and then I asked Accalia if she wanted to show the picture to Stephanie, too. Stephanie took the picture then, and we moved on to class.

We also went to the library to gather up more books and report Accalia's reading minutes. Her prize this week was an eraser. Last week it was a pencil. Not to complain or anything, but I think I liked the summer reading program at the library in Mitchell better! Last summer they also did a program where you reported the number of minutes you read (20 minutes for every state and then you could color in a state). Once the map of the U.S. was colored in, you could pick out a free book. Accalia acquired a number of free books :) I just hope Accalia gets to pick out a book with this program. That was THE highlight of the summer reading programs I participated in as a child. I absolutely loved doing that.

Accalia continued folding towels throughout the day. At dance, the girls were standing in line holding scarves they would twirl before doing scissor runs. As Accalia was waiting her turn, she put the scarf on the ground and kept folding it up. LOL!

I came across this ap-oriented magazine that is due to be published later this year. I know absolutely nothing about it or the publisher other than the plan is to bring attachment parenting to the mainstream. I just tried that link and nothing is coming up. It worked last night, so maybe it's a temporary glitch. At any rate, there's also a Yahoo group to check out.
