Tap & Ballet

Annie seems to have a particular interest in music and dancing. She has pretty good rhythm and for being two and half some pretty cute moves. We started her formally in dance classes this month. I would have honestly said she was too young and we should wait 6 months, but she asked if she could go to ballet over and over so we decided to give it a try. She loved it! She was a great listener and got a few of the moves down right away. I have since caught her practicing on her own.

How she is in dance, gymnastics and swimming each once a week and is not even three is beyond me, but she seems to be happiest when she is busiest so bring on the lessons.

Adam has some adorable video to post later but for now here are some pictures.

Disneyland

I love Disneyland. I grew up going every year with my family and have such magical memories of being there with family. From there you start to go in High School and College and now I am coming full circle and taking my little girl. I might have cried a bit on our first go on It's A Small World.

Annie did great, she loved the Small World ride the best. Then she really got into the characters and the parade. The one person she was sad she did not see and was asking about today was Minnie Mouse. But this is by no means this kids last trip to Dland so we will catch Minnie next time!

We went with all of the people who are nearest and dearest to Annie. The only one we were missing was Uncle Eric. We had Grammy and Gramps, Uncle Jon, Grammy Cathy, Aunt Kelly, Uncle Todd, Aunt Michelle, Cousins Jayden, Ainsleigh and Gavin. Life was wonderful for us in the happiest place on earth!
