Another First

The little girls had their 1st dance class today.  I have to say they were adorable!dance1011 dance10111 lizdnc  mildnc

Their thoughts:

Millie before we left:  “I’m so exciting! (her word for excited) I’m so exciting, I’m so exciting! 

Lizzie:  “This is going to be the best day EVER!”

Millie when we dropped Lizzie off:  “I am going to miss MY Lizzie”  I just can’t begin to imagine how lost she is going to be next yr without her Lizzie…

I told Millie to stop picking her tights and her response:  “I don’t know whose fault that is.  I guess they just got that way.”  I guess there was no one else to blame since she was by herself!

I asked Lizzie when I picked her up what she learned and she said “Mama it’s not like I learned a dance or something!”  Oh, excuse me!

One of our main objectives is to get them both a little more used to being without us and to adjust to new settings.  They both can be really shy in a new environment but neither of them cried and the teacher said Lizzie talked to her a lot and asked a lot of questions.  I don’t think Millie talked much but she did not cry or stand there and suck her thumb!  They loved it and want to go back so that’s a good thing!  Not sure if that is because of the class or the fact that they loved wearing that leotard and the shoes!

I loved this and the previous post! L & M are growing up!!! They are SO precious in their dance attire! They remind me so much of G & W in the pics of them hugging.
I'm sorry there are mean girls out there! I don't think parents know alot of what their kids do or how they act and I think they CHOOSE to not know...ignorance is bliss to them! I know not all parents are that way, but there are alot who are...it's sad(& maddening when they hurt your kid!) Please let Elleigh know I'm praying for her. I'm SO glad for Sallie! She looks so grown up, too! :) Wesley is starting back with his speech therapy this week at school. He is doing very well in his class. He has days when he has a harder time paying attention, sitting still, etc. but he is doing excellent with the academics. I'm so proud of him! :)
I LOVE the wall in the girls bathroom (the 4 Hall girls)! Did you design it yourself? Too cute! I finally made my sillouettes of the boys for their bathroom. I should take a pic for you. I thought I did pretty good, to not be a professional, but I think girls profiles would be much harder.
P.S. I'm going to start selling Initial Outfitters. Would you like to have a catalog party? They have a ton of new cute stuff. Just let me know! :)
I love and MISS you GREATLY!!!

Thank you Shannon! Yes, it is hard when it's your kid and so hard to not get involved! I don't but it is hard! I knew the teenage years would be hard BUT I had no idea and she's a pretty good kid! I really need to call you and talk. Lots to talk about! We had AWANA kick off last week and our first club tomorrow night so I am still deep in that. Hope it settles down some after tomorrow night. LOTS of work but we have had an amazing response and registered lots of kids so far so it is worth it. I would love to see the silhouettes you did. Glad Wesley is doing well! I may try and give you a call Thurs or Fri. Love you and miss you!!! Oh and yes I will do a catalog order!
