ballerina practice #1 and an ‘ouchies terrible’

This weekend I was finally able to get Emilia to try on her ballerina costume.  Since she had such a visceral reaction to it the last time she had it on, I thought for sure I would never get it on her again.  This time she was actually all smiles.

i think the purple bracelet really compliments the outfit.

Later on in the day I managed to convince Emilia to let me try doing her ballerina bun.  It’s going to be tricky and will require quite a bit of Marcus’ hair gel and some hairspray as well to get all the whispy hair on the side, but we’ll manage.

Our weekend post wouldn’t be complete without acknowledging our favorite soccer player and his potentially ‘season-ending’ injury.  Sunday morning we went to root on our Ecuadorians as they played a friendly match against a very aggressive Venezuelan team.  Sadly, Marcus and someone on the other team collided and now I’ve got a husband with an apple instead of an ankle.  Emilia was very disappointed and kept trying to insist that Papa should go ‘jugar con los senores’ (play with the other men), but no chance.  We hope he’ll be fine for his big tourney in a couple weeks.
