Anna is possibly warming up to the snow? At least, she does love her little pink boots!
It’s also my observation that Carolyn has improved leaps and bounds in her dance abilities since last year. I was very, very impressed with how much she’s learned this fall!
Dance started today, at a new studio with the same teacher. I’ve realized that we’re going to have to figure out a quicker routine – 45 minutes from the time the bus drops Carrie off to the time we have to be at the studio seems like plenty, but it’s not really.
I’m also going to have to figure out a new strategy for keeping Anna occupied for that hour. Last year she was not so mobile, this year there’s no way she’ll consent to sitting in a stroller for an hour!
Carrie did very, very well at her recital today. All the girls did! It was a very long time for her to sit in the auditorium, so we did spend some time hanging out in the cafeteria in the building. But she watched a lot of the other performances, and stuck it all the way through until the end so she could go up and take a bow with everyone else.
The building the theater was in had an escalator, and Carrie was so excited to be able to ride it. She kept begging to go back on the “elescator” again. I kept asking her what she wanted to do just so I could hear her say “elescator”. :)
All I can say, is that while half of them don’t really know most of the choreography, Carrie’s class entirely makes up for it in extreme cuteness. And they’ve all clearly worked very, very hard on their dances. I can’t wait for the recital on Saturday!
