Worth the money

Ali started a new dance class. I think she likes it because she is super excited to go each week, and she tells me that she loves it. I do not know, however, how she dances during the class because it is a drop off your child, don't watch kind of class. There is a dance recital in a week and a half, and because of that Ali is supposed to "practice" at home. Now I am not sure there is any type of routine or anything like that because I think the class is a free-spirit type of dance class, so I am not sure exactly what she is supposed to practice. Well when it was practice time, I took out the video camera.

Background for this video, I told Ali to practice her dance moves that she is supposed to learn, and this is what she did. So did I get my moneys worth, is my child hopeless, or does she have moves? What do you think?

Repeats

I know most mothers can understand the sentiments behind some clothes. I once posted an entire entry about one shirt. Well one great thing about having another girl is that clothes get to have a repeat cycle! I am not sure if the purple shirt will be Kat's favorite, but when I took it out of the 2T bag I almost started to cry.

Here is the original in the purple shirt and dress outfit. She was 2 years and one month old at this time.

Doesn't she look so cute!?! I cannot believe that she is big enough to wear this. Kat is only 22 months, but I think the multiple times in the dryer might have had a hand in this.


Another shirt that almost brought me to tears was the spiderman shirt. This is Ali (also when she is 2) wearing her "piderman" shirt.


Kat had to accessorize to make it a little more her style. If you look closely the fading on the shirt is obvious, and it might be slightly smaller, but there is something wonderful about being able to repeat some wonderful memories by adding new ones to old clothes.
