Dance, Dance, Dance!

After school began this year, you started taking your first dance class (ballet, jazz, and tumbling) You love it (although you don't love the shoes and pick at your leotard a lot!) You are definitely head strong when it comes to clothing that bothers you lately, but hopefully you will stay head strong to important things throughout your life.

You also got to ride on a float in the Okra Strut Parade with your dance troop!

F is for Fall!

We had a blast recently at the fair with Grandmommy and Grandaddy and then apple picking in North Carolina with Grandommy. Here are some pics and videos to remember the fun:

What you've been up to lately...

It's already October of 2015 and I am way behind in updating this blog. I'm about to do a major posting session, so please ignore that all of these posts have the same date!  We are pretty well settled into our new house in South Carolina and you are loving your new school and church! We are making friends slowly but surely and feel that this is the right place for us! It doesn't hurt that you get to see Uncle Mitch and Aunt Stacey and Grammy a lot more too! Here are some things I want to remember from recent days:

1. My road rage has apparently not gone unnoticed by you as you told me the following in the car the other day: "Mom- I'm not going to be your best friend any more if you say 'dude come on' any more at people in other cars!" Your message was received loud and clear, my love!

2. We always roll down the window and wave goodbye to Daddy as we pass his car in the morning. The other day you shouted out to him "You look perfect!"

3. You are still advancing at such a rapid pace and you amaze us all the time. You can count really high and at not quite 3.5 you can write your name and the alphabet and you are starting to sound out words from sight since you know the sounds each letter makes.  You can count by 10's and you can find "pattwerns" (patterns) like it's your job! Below is a video of you "reading" Pete the Cat when you were going to bed one night. You didn't know I was taping you and I will always cherish this sweet video:

4. you've become quite the artist lately and pay extreme detail to things like teeth and hair. I wonder if you'll get some of Grammy's artistic genes?!?

5. You also went to the dentist lately and did awesome! Everyone raved at how well-behaved and brave you were!
