One Special Girl

Grace has had a busy week - Monday was her dress rehersal, Tuesday was her recital, and Thursday she "graduated" from preschool!

Grace did a great job at her recital - I think she was born to perform! She gets so excited when it's time to "go up-stage" and do her dances. She doesn't think twice about the number of people in the audience, she just does her thing.

Grace's class was honored for their commitment, and for being Ms. Loren's "advanced" class. The girls are all 4-6 years old, so I don't know how advanced they are, but it was still an honor to be chosen to be in that class.

Always a princess!

Grace really enjoyed her preschool teachers, even though she wasn't there very long, and was really upset one night last week that school was going to be over soon and she wouldn't be able to see Ms. Johnson anymore. I reassured her that Ms. Johnson would be there next year and she would be able to see her quite a bit when school started again - that seemed to make it okay.

In addition to everything else, Grace has taken up soccer (at least for the next 6 weeks)... She is involved in a Mini-Sports class that teaches her the basics of the game. David and I decided that we would like to expose the kids to many different activities and let them choose one or two that they'd like to participate in. Ballet is a no brainer for Grace, and we'll let her decide if she wants to join a soccer team after this six week class is over.

Tristan is still a little young for the Mini-Sports, but the coach was nice enough to include him in the class - something he really enjoyed!
