It's Official. . .

"S" will not be ice skating this year. It's actually pretty depressing. I'm going to miss watching "S" work on her moves and taking her private lessons; the other moms and our 1 hour chats; and the other girls that "S" has gotten to be friends with. "S" loves to skate and does it so well, but now that she tested out of Freestyle 2 in the Spring and is no longer in basic skills, we can't make the schedule. I can't get out of work a couple hours early a few days a week to get her there in time. I went and cleaned out her locker and it was depressing. We'll definitely miss the backstage events during the ice show but we'll be there this spring to watch all "S" friends.

First Hip Hop Dance Class. . .

last night was "S" first ever dance class. She chose hip hop and was very excited. Unfortunately, I couldn't get even one shot because it's a pretty small place. Parents aren't allowed in the dance studio. We have to stand in the waiting room and watch through class. All the moms were hovered around the glass so I didn't even bother to try and get a shot.

She came out of the class with a big smile on her face and said it was a lot of fun. I can't wait to see what kind of moves she comes up with!

State Fair Fun

For "S" birthday her step-sister a/k/a Sissy took her to the State Fair. "S" had never been and was so excited about going. They spent time looking at all the animals, which she loves! She said they took forever in the cow barn. I told her not to forget to see the butter sculpture. She was pretty impressed with that too. She road rides and then paid to have her face painted. It was pretty cool. She said it was not a dragon but I'd say it certainly looks like one.
