Mother's Day and Ballet

Mother's day was this past weekend. I had a really nice day. Josh proved he isn't always a meany and got me a super thoughtful gift. It is 6 weeks of ballet/gymnastics classes with Emma. We went to our first class on Tuesday, more on that later.

Lauren had us over for brunch that morning. It turned more into lunch by the time mom showed up but it was still delicious. Lauren gave me a picture of Ethan to add to our wall. He has some catching up to do with Emma pictures.

Later that day we went to Nanny and Grampy's for dinner. We had fun playing ball in the yard while Ethan rested a bit.

Tuesday, as I mentioned, was Emma's first ballet class. It is half ballet and half gymnastics. She really enjoyed it. I will have to take some pictures next time. During the ballet half the girls stretch and practice 5 ballet positions. They also got to stretch on the bar, so cute! Then they danced to a few songs like Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear and I'm a Little Teapot. For the gymnastics portion there are centers set up and the girls just run around trying everything out. Emma loved the tumble track the best. It is like a long trampoline so the girls took turns running and jumping down it. All in all it was great! Thanks Daddy!
