Second Grade Awards Day

Today was awards day day Hillcrest. We're so proud of Julia for getting A/B Honor Roll for 4th 9 weeks and Principal's Award for Reading. 

Julia also had her first Rising Starz practice today. They learned over half their dance! She said she had so much fun today, I think hope she continues to think that!

6 Month Check Up

Rosemary had her 6 month check up today. She weighed 14 lb 9 oz and was in the 20th percentile. We had to wait for her to finish her 8 ounce bottle to weigh her though so I'm guessing she's really more around 14 lbs 1 oz.  

She got a good report from Dr. Whitaker and got her next set of shots. Her eye is still matting up, but since it does seem to be improving we're going to watch until her 9 month appointment before he refers her. She also left with a prescription for an antibiotic for a double ear infection! I felt so bad that I didn't know she felt bad!

 

I got to take Charlotte to dance today, and they got costumes! She loved how sparkly it is! 

Julia got her hip hop costume tonight. She is loving this class even more than I thought she would!

I'm so excited that both my girls are loving dance again!

Spirit Week

This week was Spirit Week at dance. Julia and Charlotte supported their favorite team today! 

Rotten Girls

Julia was supposed to have a doctor's appointment this morning but it got canceled at the last minute. So instead of going to her doctor's appointment I got this Snapchat from Michael this morning. They had breakfast at my favorite breakfast spot without me! 

 Today was back to dance for these girls and they were happy to see each other!

Sweet, rotten, scheming best friends at dance! 

"Lei" Off Drugs!'

Today was the first day of Red Ribbon Week for Julia.  Today's theme was "Lei" Off Drugs. We didn't have any lei's but we did have a Hawaiian print dress, and yes, it was warm enough to wear a sleeveless dress today!

This week is also Fall Festival week at dance so the girls get to wear costumes to class this week. Charlotte went as "Princess Charlotte" and Julia went as a pink superhero!

This is the start to a busy, but fun week. I'm already looking to our teacher workday on Friday!

First Day of MDO and Dance!

Today was a big day for Charlotte! She started Mom's Day Out at a new school AND she started her second year of dance!  

She was so excited about her first day of school. When I was getting her dressed this morning she grinned real big and said "Mama, I'm a big girl now". I'm not sure if she was more excited about getting to eat lunch at school or taking a nap! OK, maybe she was just excited about taking her nap mat!

 

Julia looked so grown today! 

 

 Even though this was her first year without Ms. Zoey which made ME want to cry, Charlotte walked right in and sat down at the table with Layla and Hampton.

 

Charlotte & Mrs. Claudie

 

Charlotte & Mrs. Kim 

Charlotte's note today said that she had a good day. Because she has dance on Mondays mom has to pick her up early. So that she doesn't interrupt nap time she picked her up right before lunch today since they eat lunch and then immediately take a nap. We'll see how nap time goes tomorrow!

Julia started her fourth year of dance today! She's taking tap, ballet, and jazz this year. She's so excited that she's finally old enough for jazz!

 

Charlotte started her second year of dance today. She's taking hip hop, ballet, and tap. She was SO excited about tap this year!   

When we take pictures now it goes something like this "Mom, I'll smile for one picture and then I get to pose". The following pictures are the results of our smiling picture and posing pictures!

Collin and Charlotte's numbers were next to each other. That may change soon! Mrs. Laura was talking to the moms and Charlotte was whispering "Collin! Collin! Look!". The she unzipped her dance bag and let Collin peek inside. She said "I have tap shoes in here"!

Julia has sassy poses too!

It was a fun, exciting, long day! We'll be at the dance studio from 2:15-6:45 on Mondays, but that will be our only dance day for the week!
