I did not make these clip arts. I found them on Google images..

I think that there is a water mark with this on two of them: clipartof.com

Little Dancer

 

With her pink tights, black leotard, perfectly pink ballet shoes, and her long blond hair pulled in a twisted tight bun..

we headed to dance class. Ballet, Jazz, and Tap all put into a 45 minute time span with 8 other little 4 and 5 year olds. (Actually one girl is going on 7 but I guess she is in there because her little sister is in there and it makes it easier on the mom.. maybe?)

We ended up getting ready 30 mins to early. This was supposed to be a good thing but my little dancer was very ready to go. So ready that every 2 minuets, she asks “is it time yet?” or “can we just drive there already? we can just sit in the car. I want to leave” I responded every time with “almost”.. and so I found her patiently waiting in the hall way. {in other words.. pouting because it was taking too long}

Then.. it was time!

She was ready to go up until we walked into the doors. That’s when she went into her “I have no idea what to expect.. why are these other kids running around like crazy animals.. I am going to stand here and be extra silent and still until I am told to move” mode. When it was time for class, she went right in, say down on her square and watched. WATCHED. It took for a little bit to actually try what the teacher was telling/showing them to do. As I watched in the window {explains the horrible camera phone pictures through a window) she would look at me and grin. BIG. Just to let me know she was happy to be there.

Then she started doing everything she was shown. 

She did really good. She isn’t or at least wasn’t as uncoordinated as I have always believed her to be. (she cant even hit the ball correctly during minigolf) but she did it. And for her first day, I am impressed! She can stand on her tippy toes FOREVER. {just to let yall know, at this age.. they do not use point shoes}

 

and so they danced..

first ballet class

The class she is in is: Fairytale 4-5 year olds. Each week, for the 7 week class, they get to dress up in a princess dress. Although I like the look of the leotards and tights better, the dresses are adorable. {note: because they get dresses, she does not have a tutu on.. if they did not use dresses.. she would FOR SURE.. without a doubt be in a tutu}

little twirler

Next came Tap

so, they tap danced

first tap dance class

She is the third from the door. {yes.. the cute one}

 

 

After tap was Jazz. I did not have a good view of her during jazz but I did happen to capture her slightly in the mirror. (the one in the black leotard)

By the end of class she was good to go. She wasn’t looking for me anymore, she was jumping around, dancing, and laughing. I am excited for class next week.

freeze dance (happens to be her favorite game at home so she was all about it in class)

 

I guess my little girl is in the next stage of life.. cross your fingers she becomes an amazing dancer, goes to some wonderful dance school, and ends up being a professional.

THAT would be AMAZING!

and so she says

 

 

While in the kitchen cooking Zuchinni pizza (check the cooking blog after tonight for recipe and pictures) my cute little chica boo was making up rhymes/songs.. then I hear her say this:

 

“Itchy Itchy Itch Itch IIITTCCHH.. bitchy bitchy Bitch Bitch BBIITTCHH” 

omg, how do I tell a 4 year old that is a bad word when she is only rhyming. (no she has never heard that word.. she is only rhyming")

Water Park

 

While organizing my pictures from the past month 5 months, I ran across a bunch of things I have not posted about. One in particular, the Water Park. Back in May we had a sisters weekend up in Pigeon Forge at the Indoor Water Park. Although we have been to it a few times before, this time was even more fun because there was 4 adults and 2 kids. Way easier on us 2 moms to have the extra hands! Plus, spending time with the sisters is always great! There was Myself and my best friend. Our little sisters who are both 23 and then our daughters who are 11 months apart. Perfect right? Yea, wish we could say we planned life that way! Anyways, I forgot the water proof camera so I didn’t get many pictures while in the water park {which is where we were 90% of the time}

 

The day we left the water park, my sister.. Mady.. and myself took a day trip to Gatlinburg. We mined, played glow in the dark mini golf, ate a great lunch, and walked around.

 

We started the day off simi lost on a creepy road and ended up turning around on a narrow one way road at a house that probably was holding an inbred murderer. I am not judging, it is true.. if you saw the house you’d understand. IT was SCARY and the picture of the trucks is just a third of how many trucks were parked across the street from the creep house.
