Last Day of Preschool

School’s out for Summer…Emilia walked out the door for her last day of preschool today. It’s hard to believe how much she has grown since she started last Fall. She looked like a baby seven months ago! It’s amazing how much knowledge she has gained. She has not only grown physically, but mentally and emotionally too. She is such a big girl now. She continues to make Mommy and Daddy very proud.

I put this little gift together for her teachers. It included an IZZE Sparkling Natural Soda, a Starbucks Frappuccino, Starbucks snacks and treats, a Starbucks gift card, paper straws, and the final touch, a flower in a vase. I wanted to say thanks to her amazing teachers. They deserve a lot of credit and admiration for nurturing all those toddlers. They are awesome!

I guess our Summer officially begins now. It will be an exciting one too. We are counting down the days until we become a family of four!

Baby Ballet

I like to think of this blog space as a scrapbook. A place for memorabilia like photographs and journaling. I’ve been absent for longer than I had wanted. Our hard drive crashed, so that made posting come to a halt. I’ve been very busy getting ready for the arrival of our baby boy. Not to mention, my toddler takes up most of my time. With that said, I don’t want to forget these sweet moments in our lives. So, I’ve been wanting to share Emilia’s ballet class.

She participated in Bluegrass Youth Ballet's, Baby Ballet class. This was a basic awareness class for two year olds to explore the world of movement through dance. I could tell the first day I took her that this was something she really enjoyed. She has tried several activities and this was by far one of her favorites. It was so adorable to watch all the little girls in their pink attire. Emilia’s dance instructor, Ms. Leah, was so patient and kind. She used colorful props and fun music that really seemed to spark the toddler’s imagination. We were a little sad to say goodbye to this session. So, maybe we will pick back up with a Creative Movement class in the Fall. We may have a ballerina in training!
