The Anderson Family: First Ballet Class

First Ballet Class

Holiday's ballet class went really well on Saturday. We took pictures, so we'll download them when we get time, it's been kinda crazy lately. There was one dance/game where Holly was the leader carrying a sparkly baton and all the other girls where marching after her banging on drums. The giggles were contagious. We'll need to practice some stuff with her...like the difference between right and left, first position of ballet, etc. This is probably a good lesson in listening for Holiday which will be good for her to learn. In other news I did get my driver's permit on Saturday, scored 100% on the test. David wasn't surprised because even though I don't drive it's not like I don't know the rules of the road. So I'll start practicing soon and hopefully I'll be able to get my license before too long.

I'd just like to say that no matter how crazy or hard life is for me that I have my wonderful husband and my two beautiful children to keep me grounded and sane. Everybody take care of each other out there.

Johnny's Sizes

-Phasing out diapers and wearing undies
-Currently size 4T

-Need to check his shoe size, has one pair of tennis shoes, boots and flip flops.
-Has summer wardrobe set. He'll need pants, long-sleeve shirts, winter weight pajamas, and socks in the fall. Probably will need a coat since we didn't get one last year. Jacket seems to fit for now.
-Loves trains-trains-trains, legos, balls, blocks, cars, Thomas trains, stuffed animals, music toys and board books. Still very tactile. Loves to color and read books. Very into Elmo, Blue's Clues and Thomas the Train and generally tv shows with music involved. He likes to do a happy dance to music. Also loves to play outside when he can. Did I mention he really loves trains?

Holiday's Sizes

- Holly is size 5 or XS depending on where you shop. If getting leggings I recommend a size 6 since she tends to fill those out.
- Shoe size 11.5, has boots, 1 pair of dress shoes, tennis shoes, ballet slippers, flip flops, sandals and tap shoes. Last summer she got new shoes at the beginning of summer camp and by the time school started her feet grew a size. So shoe size to be revisited before she goes back to school.
- She has a jacket and all the summer wardrobe necessary. She has a couple pairs of jeans, short sleeved shirts and short sleeved dresses. She will need long sleeved dresses, leggings, undies, and socks. Will need to check if her coat will carry through the winter.
- I'm not picky about colors, but Holly is a girlie girl. She doesn't care for jumpers too much either or scratchy tulle skirts.
- Some of Holly's interests include but are not limited to: Sesame Street, Yo Gabba Gabba, Dora the Explorer, Go Diego Go, Mickey Mouse, Super Why, Blue's Clues and animals in general. She loves to color, puzzles, books, stickers, legos and toys she can generally play pretend with. Holly also enjoys simple craft projects like ink stamping, painting and gluing projects. She really enjoys playing outside too (but she has more than plenty when it comes to toys to play in the sandbox).
