It's that time of the week....

... Wednesday evening BALLET! 

I will say that now that we've got 3 lessons under our belt, today was by far the best one Clara has had yet! No tears, only wanted to be held for short moments, even did some of the activities the way they're told to, which in this 2 year old class, is pretty good :) 

Her favorite activities are still (by far) the balancing ones on the half-balls (I can never remember what those things are called) and the balance beam. She likes the streamer twirling and the bubbles and stretching songs too, though. She also, naturally, enjoys looking at herself in the mirror :) 

She is still NOT a fan of learning the different ballet positions.

We are lucky enough to have one our friends and her daughter - Amber & Alexa - join the class with us! It makes it even more fun!

weeeeeee

Lulu & I tag-teamed it because we have Emma there too and Clara usually can't make up her mind who she wants to participate.

Loves to look at herself in the mirror

 Ring Around the Rosie! Clara actually participated and sang along today!

Pop Goes the Weasel not as much ....

Then LOTS of balance beam time!

During the Good-bye song Clara drug Lulu's purse all over the floor, ha!

Once class was over the ballerinas were very happy to discover a rocket ship made out of boxes. Clara did NOT want to leave the rocket ship!

"you uck! you uck!"

"my turn!" 

silly girl child!

 After the class Alexa & Clara "drove" around for a little while

And had a ball! 

Lulu even pushed them all the way to Rico's where we had dinner!

I have an ADORABLE video, but for some reason youtube doesn't want to load it? 

I'll try again tomorrow.

The girls had fun coloring together and hopping up and down off of their chairs. 

.....

until it wasn't fun anymore

.....

doh! 

both girls crying at the same time

 And despite it being over 3 hours later, believe it or not, Emma STILL looks like this - only a lot louder!

Colic is not for the faint of heart, people.

Dance yourselves into some bubble gum pink dreams!
