Today we went back for our second trial dance class.

So, so cute!

These two funny girls decided to try hiding their heads while I asked them to pose near the garage, and this is what they came up with.

Popping back up!

Another chase.

I just love these smiling faces.

Ready to dance.

Practicing putting their feet to sleep and waking them back up as part of their stretches.

Suki was still wary of the dads (and on a Saturday, there were even more of them) but was able to stick with the class almost the entire time even with her anxiety.

I think this stretch involved looking at the cake on their feet? The stretches are very funny.

Putting cake on their heads?

So pleased.

Practicing some dance positions. We can't wait to go get some ballet slippers soon but the girls wouldn't take their crocs off to dance in their socks today.

Here are two little dances that the girls enjoyed today:

I thought Sook was going to climb right over this barre.

Adorable.

The instructor helps get Grace's leg in the right position.

Jumping!

This move involves pretending to climb over a horse, I can't remember what it's really called.

Neither can I remember the name of this galloping chase in which they're engaged, but Suki in particular loved it.

Grace took a tumble on the slippery floor and was angry and frustrated about that for a bit. I told her to just take a minute and she could join in the fun when she felt like it. Meanwhile, Suki was ready to tackle the next task.

As you'd imagine by now, I have no idea what this is called but it sure was fun.

Watching a leaping pony game.

After class, it was time for balloons and lollipops and a quick walk to the grocery store.

Very interested in a pineapple.

My sweet girls.

Looking at the flowers at the check out.

Meanwhile, Kate had an awesome morning with David. They played and ran all over the house!

Then, after naps we played outside at the sand and water table, with the slide, with each other -- it was a perfect, lovely day.
