OH Ally!!

So the other day we return from some errands and I started getting Luke out of the car and Ally starts saying that she is stuck in her seatbelt. I kind of brushed it off because she can sometimes make up drama to get attention. In fact, I was encouraging Luke to make fun of her by saying, "DUH ALLY"(which I later felt bad for). So, after I get Luke out I walk around the car to help her out just so I don't have to hear about it anymore. When I get there I realize she is really starting to get upset. As I check out the situation I realize that she is really stuck. The seatbelt is unbuckled and somehow she had gotten it wrapped around her waist. The problem was that the seat belt had locked where I couldn't get it to release. At this point she is having a hard time breathing and she is saying she feels like she is going to throw up. So, as I am having flashes in my head of calling the fire department she is really starting to freak out. I think Luke started to sense something was really wrong and he starts to get upset. The next thing I try and do is to lift her up trying to get her closer to the top of the seatbelt thinking it would release. It didn't instead it cinched the belt tighter around her waste. Fearing she was gonna pass out or have internal injuries I left her hanging there and ran into my house desperately trying to find some scissors which I have a hard time finding because coincidentally Ally has every pair up hidden in her room. So I get a pair of scissors and cut the freaking seatbelt. I must say it was a little bit scary. So, as I look back at it now that she is okay I have to think to myself what was she doing in the first place. This is the story of Ally's life. We are constantly saying Oh Ally!!

In fact tonight we went to a wedding reception and as she takes off across the room to get some more food from the buffet she completely falls on her face. You could tell she had hurt herself but the humiliation overcame the pain and continued on her way as though nothing had happened. This was followed by her older brother dumping his ranch dressing all down the side of her new dress. It is like that movie "Pure Luck" with Martin Short.

She is like our Goofy. I have to share one more Ally story. She is in a tumbling class a couple times a week. The last 5 minutes of each class they get to choose their favorite skill and show everyone in the class. The less quirky children chose a cartwheel, backbend or something of that nature. Well, Ally gets up in front of the class and wraps her whole arm around the back of her head and takes her fingers and puts them over her face and pulls her nose up like a pig. This was her favorite skill that she had learned in tumbling class. MONEY WELL SPENT!!

This just a sample of my Ally stories. The reason they crack me up so much is that whenever I tell my mom about something new that she has done I always get the same response: "You were the same way when you were little." I love that!! A little me. She is such a cute quirky little thing and I wouldn't change a thing about her.
