Ballet

Emma went to her very first ballet class this morning. This is the first class we have taken where I have not participated with Emma. Mommies were aloud to stay in the room and watch and I caught a few pictures. Emma had a hard time staying in her place at the beginning of class. She kept wanting to run over and check in with me, but by the end of class, she was getting the hang of it. I think with Emma that it would have been better if I had not been there :)

As you can see it is a very small class :)

The Art Party

Emma was invited to a birthday party today that was a ton of fun. There were two birthday girls named Cricket and Katelyn and the theme was "Art Party". All the kids had a great time playing in the yard, blowing bubbles, and painting The children each got a homemade smock and beret to wear as they created their masterpieces.
