Dance Class

Last week Emily tried out a ballet/tap class to see if she would like it . . . she had fun so we have signed her up for weekly classes.  Today was her first class dressed in her proper attire:

 

I lucked out on the ballet shoes because my sister gave these to me as dress up years ago . . . Emily didn't even know we had them and  I remembered that they were buried in the bottom of her closet.  They just so happened to fit!   I got the black leotard at a consignment sale last Thursday night.  I lucked out on that one because I was planning on getting her a new one and just happened to find it on the rack : )  I bought her tap shoes on ebay and we got them in the mail Saturday.  I sure do love how easy it is to get gently used items for kids!   I did buy the tights new : )

Abigail was on a roll today during Emily's class.  She spent her time digging in the trash can, putting her hands all over their fan, trying on some random girls' shoes, going behind the director's desk, and scooting on her bottom across the floor (which she has never done until today).  It was like I had given her a Mt Dew on the way to class.    A couple of the moms enjoyed talking to her and she told each of them about her eye and kept pointing to it and saying "hurt eye".   She was making me tired : )

When we got home she put on Emily's shoes and sunglasses, grabbed two purses, and took her baby for a stroller ride.  She looks like a hippie in this picture:

The last couple of nights Abigail has wanted to add to her collection of bed time sleep mates.  Tonight she grabbed two dolls and an Elmo doll and was hugging all 3 when I put her to bed . . . I asked her how she was going to suck her thumb while holding all those babies:

This youngin' should sleep good tonight with all the energy she burned this afternoon : )
