Today is my busy alternative flower Friday, in the shape of Violet.  This morning she  was hugely amused when my son blew up a balloon for her and instead of tying a knot, let it go so that the air expelled in a noisy and clearly very exciting fashion! He was exhausted after a dozen or so goes, but not so Violet!
After lunch I took Violet to collect some  pink shoes that we had ordered for her the week before, to complete her winter shoe collection.  Now that she is walking it's important that she has correctly fitting  footwear of course, but it must look nice too!
This collage of rather poor quality pics shows Violet's balloon blowing up skills AND...her new found walking and dancing  skills! Now that she's started she won't stop: hence the rather blurry collection of shots, but in this case recording the subject matter is far more important to me  than the quality!
