K and the Stolen Hospital Gown

Today I am thankful for this little shopping partner, who gave me such a hard time at the dr’s today that we left with the gown. And then she insisted on wearing the gown with nothing under it for the rest of the day. So we went to Vons with her looking like an escaped mental patient and she helped me shop. Her big personality makes me want to pull my hair out sometimes, but then I look at things like this and just have to laugh.

Dance Class

Today I am thankful for dance class!! K is such an active toddler and we are always looking for outlets for all her busy energy. What’s nice about dance is it’s structured so she gets to move her body and also learn to follow rules at the same time (as opposed to hiking where the only rule is stay away from the edge .)

I love how patient her teacher is with her (like during the first 5 weeks when K slid around on the floor like a slug for most of the class ?) and I am also impressed with how well a toddler can follow choreography!

Of course it’s a little rough around the edges but K seems to understand the motions and is able to follow along. And I think learning the moves gives her confidence. She loves to come home and make Daddy play dance class with her (“Daddy, stand on the tape right HERE!”) and teach him the moves too ?
