PRESCHOOL: Elsie is now going to a small preschool one day a week for a couple of hours. This is our way of preparing her little by little for kindergarten next year. She loves it. She picked out a puppy folder to put her work in. We will continue this until January and then put her in a 3 day preschool. She already asks when she can go every day like her friend Kaylin! Soon enough!
SLEEPOVER: Elsie went to a birthday party for her best girl friend, Kaylin. She was so excited when she found out that she would be having a sleepover after the party. She talked about it nearly every day during the weeks leading up to the birthday. She got all packed up with her princess backpack, pillow, and monkey to take with her. They had a blast together and got to watch Little Mermaid in the morning while eating breakfast. She is already asking when Kaylin and her can have another sleep over!!
BALLET: Elsie started a ballet class on Wednesdays for the next 8 weeks. We thought she should have something all for herself as the baby will be coming very soon. She always looks in the TV and watches herself dance and twirl. She gets hacked if she can't wear a dress or skirt that twirls; it's very important! So we thought this would be a fun idea. She went on a Daddy date and got new ballet shoes and a leotard with tights. Everything had to be pink, of course (although she really would have preferred purple, but pink was second on the list!). She did a great job at her first session. The instructor takes the kids in one at a time and sits them in their line. It is a 2 1/2-4 year old class, so Elsie is by far the oldest and tallest! At the end of the session, she got 2 stickers, one for listening and the other for coming. As soon as we got out the door she asked when she could take her shoes off because they hurt her feet. Then in the car, we asked her how she liked it and she said that it hurt her knees because she had to bend them and stretch. She wasn't so sure if she wanted to go back. She is our all-or-nothing kid (like her Daddy!), if it doesn't come easy, then forget it!! Thankfully the following week she was excited to go back. They got to use ribbons!
