Twice the Fun

Julia, Valerie and Grandma had a very fun but busy week together.

This week I got to take Julia to her first ballet and tap dance class. She was so excited and had so much fun. We practiced putting the shoes on "all by myself" several times before going. Mommy fixed her hair in bun like a real ballerina and we read a book about being a ballerina before we left.

Valerie spent the week trying everything her cousin Julia did. She has the sweetest face.

Julia rode her bike a lot. We had races. She would ride her bike and I would pull Valerie in the wagon.

We bought a jump rope and working on how to jump rope. She is quite coordinated and will probably get the hang of it soon.

Valerie loves playing with the little people school bus. If we ever can not find her she is usually behind the couch playing with the little people.

We enjoyed lots of wagon rides.

We went to Library Storytime. Julia ran into two of her friends from school. They were very excited to see each other.

We did a lot of swimming this week.

We had friends from school over one day.

We swam with each other one day.

Then Jillian came swimming with us one day.

On Thursday we went to Preschool Open Gym at the Grapevine Rec Center. It was awesome. Julia played with friends from school. The best part was playing under the parachute.

We introduced Valerie to bubbles. She was not quite sure what to think about those things but she finally got into it and put the bubble wand in her mouth.

Julia and Valerie read books together.

Julia painted.

Julia practiced cutting with a ball of my knitting yarn. Its okay, as you can tell I never have time to knit.

We had a great week. I am going to get some rest this weekend so we can play together all next week.
