It's been a big countdown lately...how many days until Ellie's dance lesson, and the "practice" has been feverish. Today was the big day...and I quote (in the car on the way there) "I'm so excited!". It was darned cute to watch. I think she pretty much had a grin on her the entire time. They started with some stretches, and the some tap. Ballet came next and some work on their "dance" (to 'Oh, Sugar', and started with wiggling hips, which has been practiced and was so fun to see). They even did a bit of tumbling. Ellie did so well, following the teacher's directions and had went in without a hitch- eager and happy. We got to watch from the glass paned double doors, and managed to get a few memorable shots through the glass. I was so glad she had so much fun. (Lia did great watching, and waiting, though questioned why she wasn't going in to "do ballet" as they've been calling it at home. The dancing did continue when we got home while mommy made dinner :) My little dancers :)
Aurie has some funny favorite spots... this big pillow in the living room, on her belly.
In such a strange position on mommy's arm...but it works. She looks like a person on an airplane, with her lids closing and popping open once in a bit. It's quite comical to watch. Do you suppose I can count that as arm weights?
She tried out her floor activity center a few times now. If you can keep Lia from crawling in there with her, she seems to like it.
