1st Ballet Class

Evelina's first ballet class was yesterday.  We have been prepping her for weeks.  Driving by the dance studio everyday, reading ballet related books, talking about ballet and the new little friends she would meet, trying on ballet shoes and leotards, even attending an open house so she could see where her dance class would take place and meet her teachers.

I knew this class would be difficult for her since we couldn't be in the room with her.  We told her we would be watching her through the viewing window and that it would be so much fun.  As much as she wanted to participate, it was just too scary for her.  She spent the majority of the class looking at the other little girls through the viewing window.  Poor thing.  We eventually got her to sit inside the door, but that's as far as we got.  Maybe next week that will be her starting point.  Fingers crossed.

She did happen to be the cutest little ballerina in her leotard and skirt though.

Photos | Evelina Turns 3

I'm definitely not the best at taking, downloading and editing photos lately.  I finally sifted through some photos from Evelina's 3rd birthday.  Yes, yes...I know it was over 2 months ago, but I'm certain there are a few people who read the blog that would like to see them so here they are. 

One observation, both Evelina and Daphne have more hair now.  Ha!! 

July 4th and Ogunquit

The weather turned sour while we were in Maine so we didn't get much beach time in. Even so, Evelina had a wonderful time at the zoo and the beach, as well as spending lots of time with Grandpa.  Daphne is smiley where ever we go...with the exception of sleeping in a room that isn't her own!!
