Cute Alanna Moments

I need to get out the video camera tonight and capture some of these on tape to immortalize for future embarassment potential. She's just into everything right now and is a major sponge--picking up new things moment to moment. Some recent cute items of note:

* Alanna is now singing a lot at home. Her favorite song at the moment is:
"Twinkle twinkle little star, wonder are, row row boat, merrily, eeyi eeyi oh moo moo." Sung exactly as quoted.

* Alanna is working on going down the stairs walking rather than crawling. Quite a feat considering the number of stairs to our basement and that they're fairly narrow. She learned a stair "dance" at daycare where she puts her hand on the rail, steps down, and then slides her hand down the rail. It looks rather cute though because she sings it with rhythm and shakes her bottom as she goes think jazz..."Step and Sliiiiiide, Step and Sliiiiiiiide."

* Alanna is a fantastic helper around the house. She really likes to pick up and clean with Mommy and I think is maybe just a little OCD as mommy is too. Her favorite thing is to help throwing things away. Last night she wanted a snack before bed and she was soooo intent on cleaning up before she went to sleep that she threw both the bowl and cup away in her diaper pail before going to sleep. Took us a little creative thinking to figure out where they were.

* Music is a large part of Alanna's life both at home and at daycare. At daycare they're working on identifying the different kinds of music and the dances that go with. I was putting away laundry listening to the radio and Alanna was dancing around her bedroom the other night. A song that had a very 70's feel to it came 0n and she shouted out with a grin, "DISCO!" and then began doing the John Travolta finger pointing dance.
