Sleepovers, Tiptoe Dancing and the Dash Man

We've been spending a lot of time recently explaining the importance of sharing to Christine - and she's just about got it, although doesn't always apply her new skill. Here's a shot of Christine and Dash having a (pretend) sleepover on our living room floor and sharing the blanket - it only took us about 5 minutes to bully her into sharing with him, although you can see on the left that she had no problem sharing with her buddy Tyrone.
One of Christine's other new things is she has started "tiptoe dancing" around our house. She has pretend ballet shoes and I picked up a a ballet skirt for her as well - here she is posing for me last night, I love the serious expression on her face - like she's concentrating really hard on keeping the pose.

The Dash Man is gearing up for his first birthday this Saturday and just started taking some unassisted steps today. If his walking is anything like his cruising around furniture he will definitely be living up to his name as he is fast as lightening (and adorable to boot).
