New Happenings

Emily started dance a couple weeks ago. She's in a tap, jazz, ballet and hip hop class. We hesitated putting her in dance because we knew it wasn't what she has pictured in her head. She pictures flouncing around on stage and wearing cute outfits. None of the practice and routines that are the reality. But after talking about what she should do, we decided to give this a go. So far she loves it. Can't wait to go again. I've also already met some really nice mom's to visit with while Em practices so it's kind of a nice break for me too.

I love the picture, above, of her doing her own version of a ballet move. I told Mike that she looked like a someone drew a stick figure with a sharpie pen and it leaped off the page and was walking around...she's so skinny! I can't wait for her dance recital in June. I think they'll be cute and entertaining at this age.

Nathan is also doing a lot more. He's really starting to push himself up. He can hold himself up for a long time. He's rolled over once or twice but is really trying to do it more often. He's not on his tummy very often so there's not a lot of time to practice. He's also starting to get into a little more routine for naps during the day, not completely, but better than the random here and there naps like he was doing. It helps to have 2 long naps instead of 3-4 shorter naps. I just may get something done after all.
