Dancing Princess

I was trying to get Violet to settle down tonight after dinner so that I could go take a shower in peace so  I put on Barbie's Twelve Dancing Princesses (a really cute movie) on my computer with her swing set up in front of it for her to watch.  It's got really pretty music and dancing in it.  I was holding her in my lap at first and she got sucked right into the movie.  Her eyes got really big and she started cooing and gooing, and then she started to try to stand up and kick her little legs.  It was so cute, she knows she's a dancing princess!  I wish I could have gotten it on video, but I was holding her and talking on the phone to my mom, and I just don't have enough arms, but my mom was a witness to the cooing!  Anyway, it worked, I was able to put her in her swing and take a shower, and when I got out she was sound asleep.  She's such a little angel.

As a side note, my mouth is finally starting to feel much better.  I was able to eat dinner tonight with the family without wanting to die, so that's good.  I'm sure I'll be all better in another week or so.  It's almost too bad, I might have been able to drop all the baby weight if it had gone on for another couple of weeks!  I guess I'll just have to start exercising and do it the hard way.

Only one more day till Karl comes home, I'm so excited.  I miss him so much, but he's doing really well.  He really is a natural teacher, and he enjoys it so much, it makes me happy that he's found a job he can really enjoy.  We keep in touch with Skype, so the boys and me get to see him every day.  It really helps to be able to actually see him  instead of just talking over the phone.  The boys absolutely love it, Sam thinks he's stuck inside the computer.   

Well, I'm gonna go kiss the boys goodnight and hit the sack myself.  All is well in the Clinger home.
