My tiny dancer!

Whew!! It's pure craziness around here as we prep for our move (which should happen later this week). In addition to the move, we had a great visit from Jay and Cyndi last weekend (more weekend photos to come...) and this week we have: a swim lesson, three dance classes, a doctor's check-up AND Kate & Grandma Star's birthday. So it's busy, to say the least. But it's also incredibly fun, especially Kate's dance class. She had her very first ballet class ever yesterday and I was such a proud mama that she tried everything and had a great time. There are four other girls in class who are all five, so Kate is much younger and there's just a lot of stuff she can't quite do yet. But she tries it all and does her own thing a bit, too. The teacher is fantastic and makes it fun for all of them. It's got to be one of the cutest things I've ever seen, to see her strutting her stuff in her little leotard. Today, she got to do tap dance and she was pretty much in awe the whole time that "her shoes made NOISE!" For a girl who still loves tools and cars, I wasn't sure she'd ever try dance but, selfishly, I hope she keeps doing it!

"Deja vu all over again..." It felt so strange to see Kate do all the same things that Bryn did at that age. Darling, times 2!

Well, that is the cutest thing I've seen since Bryn was doing the same thing, at the same age! Deja vu.
