The First Dance Class

Last week I learned one of Milan's friends had signed up for a Creative Rhythm dance class.  The class is designed for 3 to 5 year olds, and as this is something I've long been interested in for Milan, I got the details from the other mother and signed Milan up.  I wasn't sure if Milan would be into it or not, but as it turned out, she loved it.  She had the most precious grin on her face nearly the entire 45 minutes she was in class.  She also loved the fact that her good friend, Olivia was in class with her.

Parents are not allowed in the room while class is in session (the reason for the lack of pictures), but there are windows that allow us to see into the room without being seen by the kids.  It really was one of the cutest, funniest things I've ever seen.  I'm so glad she loved it and wants to go back.  It was one of those mornings that made my heart sing.  :)

Trip to Idaho - Part 2

During the 2nd week of our stay in Idaho, we traveled to Stanley Idaho, which is a tiny town nestled in the Sawtooth Mountains.  We rented a couple of rooms which sat right next to the Salmon River.  The girls played in Redfish Lake during the day and we all enjoyed the deck facing the river in the evenings.  Talk about relaxing!  We all hated to leave!

Milan's First Day of Preschool

This morning was Milan's first official day of preschool, and was she ever excited!  Although she's attended daycare part-time in the past, this was her first day of preschool and it was a pretty significant day for all of us.  I can't believe my first baby is a preschooler!!!!

Showing off her school-issued bag (so much for the cute little backpack we bought her, although she is thrilled with the duffel).

She was so excited!

Stop taking pictures Mommy, I want to go to school!

Alright already!
