Tales of the CulturePrincess Part 4

Why did I even bother? The princess is at it again. On Saturday I went to Wal- Mart to take some items back. While we were there Laila had a fit over a Cinderella costume. When I returned home My Mom was on her way to Wal Mart. She took Laila with her and promised to get her the outfit. Well she ended up with the Snow White and for the past three days she has had to wear it.
Day Three: She was constantly posing like this picture

Day Two: this is the day she slept in it and didn't want to get dressed to go to my Uncle's house.

Day One:


I'm hoping that after today she doesn't want to wear the costume anymore.

YES!!!!! I am so happy for Laila. Laila is a bright, happy, energetic, imaginative little tot who loves to communicate. Most of her communications skills include a combination of yelling, screaming and or babbling. Yes, my princess is not a talker in the normal language.

Finally she is signed up to go to school for language therapy for ninety minutes two times a week. She has to wear standard school attire, and a bus will come to pick her up. Where we live they just started school uniforms for the kids.

I am more excited that she will be able to wear a school uniform two days out of the week and get a break from her Preschool. She usually waits by the door for me in the afternoons because she is ready to go home. Now with her attending another school two times a week she won't be so anxious.

I must admit I am always anxious to leave work to retrieve her, but I have to work, and I am counting down sixty seconds until I can clock out.

I am really happy that finally we will see some improvement and I can enjoy my princess even more with her new words and new ways to communicate.

Tales of the CulturePrincess Part 2

So this weekend we went to the Symphony. Guess who was there? None other than the man who made Feliz Navidad one of the most popular Christmas songs in the world! Jose Feliciano, guitarist and vocalist, and Puerto Rico's Stevie Wonder. He was great, and you guessed CulturePrincess was able to go for a few reasons.
1. I didn't bother to find a sitter.
2. I really wanted her to hear the music because she loves it sooo much.
3. We haven't done anything Christmasy yet(if that's even a word).
So now CulturePrincess and I are neck and neck. She still beats me though, because when I was three I was lucky if I got to see Sesame Street Live!

Tales of the CulturePrincess

Part 1
My daughter has a better social life than I do. Every weekend she is either having a party at her school or going to a birthday party of a friend. Then of course I always create something for us to do when I am bored. This weekend we went apartment hunting. After all that searching we were hungry so we ate at a Indian Buffet place. She is three years old and eating Indian food! I know some adults who can’t handle Indian food. Her plate was so pretty. She had oranges, and yellows and greens from all the different spices and ingredients. She mainly devoured the yellow rice and naan, and hardly touched anything else.
The next day we went to Art Museum and they have on display modern local artists and French (societe anoyme) artists. I am actually looking at the paintings for the style and flair. My daughter just sees a bunch of colors and shapes on a canvas that she wants to touch. I have never understood why Museums don’t let you touch anything.
That’s an idea I could work on. After viewing the pieces we went and created our own watercolor abstract art. We again worked up our hunger and had Italian food. So that is three different cultures in two days. Good for you Cultureprincess, now the Culturequeen has to catch up.
