First Day of Pre-School


This is Allison's last year in preschool.  I'm glad that she has the same teacher two years in a row.

My Little Medal Winner

A short video of Allison getting her dance medallion.  The teacher gave a small speech beforehand and told everyone how Allison was the littlest dance member, but always the most excited to come to class.


First Dance Recital

Allison's dance class for the year has come to an end, so the studio had a small recital (nothing fancy) that all the parents and family of the kids could attend.  I'm over the moon that Allison is in a dance class in the first place.  I danced for a long time and loved it so much.  I think she loves it too because every time we even drive close to the studio she says "Dance class?"  A lot of the time she also insists on wearing a tutu.  We arrived at the studio and all her friends screamed "Allison!"  They were so happy to see her so we started to get ready and put her dancing shoes on.


For some reason, I think the camera on my phone is better than Mark's actual camera.  He didn't end up getting any good pictures of the actual performance, but here is a group picture of most of the class and the three dance instructors in the back.  They danced to Michael Jackson's Thriller.


 I had a matching shirt because I'm her biggest fan.


She got her first dance medal!  Then she got a celebratory cupcake, which I think was actually her favorite part.


And then she ate the cupcake....


Of course we invited grandma and grandpa to share this special occasion with us.  They were both very proud of Allison.



Allison posed for a picture with Ms. Shelli


For some reason there was a snake in the building, so she had to take a look.  My child has no fear and was trying to get it out of the box.  *shudder*
