Our little dancer! We started Mia in dance a

few weeks ago at the same place I went to for dance when

I was little. She is really nervous about it still

but her teacher says she's a natural. Rick takes her because

they pretty much only have classes in the morning so it's only

really convenient for stay at home mom's. Lucky for us,

Rick's schedule makes it possible for him to take her.

I told him he had to take pics so I don't feel

like I'm totally missing out ( I still feel that way)

She has been so proud of herself and shows

me everything she learns, today it was okay mom

point your toes to the mirror arms up

She's still having a hard time letting Rick leave the

room so we are working on that, but I think this will

be a great thing for her to do before preschool next year!!

Here is Mia saying her shapes, if you didn't catch the first one,

it's a trapezoid. She knows the pentagon, octogon, and hexagon too.

I can't even get my 3rd graders to learn these shapes, I wish more parents would

show their toddlers new things, they would be so much better off once they are in school.

I showed her a few times and she remembers it, they are such little sponges, it's amazing!

My camera card got full right at the end of course :(

We had a 50s dance at church and luckily
I had an outfit that I bought awhile back for
Halloween next year. I didn't even realize it

had glasses until I opened it. She really did

look so cute!

and the little scarf to match..

Here she is on the dance floor, she LOVED dancing with her grandpa.

I forgot to put a pic of her dancing, it's on my cell phone :)

I had to put a long sleeve under since it was "itchy"

sound familiar Bre???

They even had the 50s diner with rootbeer floats. Fun!

Mia had a blast with Grandpa.

I thought she made a pretty cute 50's girl!

I did the leather jacket/ converse theme. No poodle skirt for me!

Mia has been cracking me up with her little vocabulary.

The other day she said, "mom you are definitely interupting me right now,

I'm doing my project." She is so independent and strong minded.

Rick started taking her to dance this week, so more pictures to come.

He also takes her to the library every week to pick out books, he definitely

does a lot with Mia in those few hours before work and I know she loves it,

he's the best dad :)
