Marching

Alice LOVES the University of Wisconsin Marching Band. They practice outside near the hospital, so on warm days, we'll go down and watch them rehearse for a while. Then on football Saturdays, we go down to the stadium and do some tailgating and pre-gaming with friends while the band performs by the student union, before all marching up to the field together. Now that it's getting colder outside, we don't see the band in person as much any more. Luckily, we managed to find a decent YouTube video of the band performing, and so now we just march around inside the house. Who says television-watching leads to inactive kids?

Tumbler

Alice had a full-scale, head-over-heels, multiple summersault tumble down all the stairs today that would have been really funny if it wasn't kind of scary. We knew Alice was ok when she decided to start placing an icepack on her baby Dolly's head to make it feel better. Here Alice shows Daddy where it hurts right after her accident, and then later decides that she's had enough cuddling, and can handle the ice-to-forehead duties for the rest of the night.
