One of the current obsessions around here is ballet. If Ada is awake and in the house you can count on her being in some sort of leotard/ tutu situation. I recently dug up a bag of ballet stuff (including shoes) given to us by a dear cousin and Ada regularly offers "ballet" class to any number of stuffed animals. Actually she has never taken ballet, but will start in January and we are all excited about it.
Last weekend the girls needed something to do and I decided to throw some masking tape on the floor as a balance beam. We made one straight and one crooked and the girls walked, hopped, crab walked, walked backwards, spun, and any other thing I could think of back and forth on these "beams" for at least half an hour before moving on to just plain dancing. It was a huge hit!

Walking the line. Plus you can see the Eric Carle collage on the right. We ended up covering it with another sheet of clear contact paper and will likely use it to wrap some birthday presents for friends- it looks really cool!
Love my girls!
Congratulations on making it through your first graduate course! Yaay!!!
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful photos! I love Emma's absorption in what Ada's doing in the first photo, and Ada's interest in what Emma's doing in the third. That's sisters for you!
I'm glad Ada's starting ballet lessons. Even though it seems impossible that it's already time for her to start music and dance lessons, it is! I wonder how she's going to like it...
Thanks! I'm so happy I got through the class in one piece. Ada is extremely excited to start ballet- I probably should have waited to tell her we signed her up because she has a quirky sense of time but oh well.
