Year End Celebration
May 17, 2010
Summer kicked-off with B's preschool year end celebration. All of the 4 year olds get their graduation certificates. It is so cute. B will be headed to their pre-K program next year, so I wasn't teary-eyed like I was with A. Their school is so much more than just a place for her to learn. It is a place where she is truly nutured and supported. I LOVE her preschool.
We are so proud of B!
Girl Power
May 17, 2010
A's gymnastics program was appropriately titled "Girl Power", which is something all of the girls say at the end of each class. (I love it so much that I use it in Girl Scouts.) A loves gymnastics, and it is soooo much fun watching her.
When A started, her ultimate goal was to do a back-hand spring. After that, she said that she was done. Well, she's almost there, and now she wants to learn a front flip with no hands. I'm sure that's years away, but it is fun to see her grow and reach for the next level. I already find myself tensing up watching her, so I can only imagine what it will be like as it gets more difficult.
Miss Stacey leads A's class, and she is fabulous. I've really tried to be intentional about what programs I put my girls in, and I've been so blessed to have other positive adult role models for them.

Party in the USA
June 12, 2010
A's dance recital theme was Party in the USA. She loves dance!! Almost everyday at some point, I can find her dancing around the house coming up with a routine. She says that it isn't her favorite activity, but from the outside looking in, it totally seems to be her thing.
This was our first dance recital (except for our preschool dance). I was really impressed with the performances, costumes, music selection and overall atmosphere. It was just the right balance of "special" and "laid-back". A had fun getting ready, especially wearing Mommy's make-up. At the end of the performance, all of the girls got a "goody bag" with a trophy in it. I've determined all kids LOVE trophies.
A during her ballet routine. She just looks so beautiful! And, I love watching her :)
A during her tap routine. She takes tap, jazz, lyrical and ballet. All of the girls loved twirling the umbrellas.
