Had's Dance Recital

Well - I know that it has been forever since my last post...but I do not know where April went - and I cannot believe that we are already 7 days into May. Anyway - it is good to be back!!!

Last night was Hadley's dance recital! It was great fun! This was her first recital to do ballet and tap! She was excited to get to dance in two songs instead of just one! She did great! I think the most exciting part for her was getting her first trophy! The first two years you only get a ribbon and a medal - so year three is trophy year - and she was super pumped!

Cayden is a good sport about dance! The class is every Tuesday for 1 hour and parents are supposed to stay - so Cayden gets to go to dance every week too! It is definitely not his favorite hour of the week! But - he cheered on Had during the recital last night!

For the tap dance - the girls danced around lollipops and sang about planting a lollipop tree in their back yards - first year tapping is "really great!" Luckily, we have wood floors and the taps on her shoes would ruin the floors - so no practicing at home! :)

This is Had with her dance teacher! Miss Patrice is the greatest! She is so patient and Had loves her!

Well - here is a brief catch-up on what's been going on - since I have neglected my blog ...

The twins had their kindergarten screenings last week - everything went great! They had fun touring the school and meeting some of the teachers. The principal wanted to talk to me and so she handed the twins some books to "look at" while we talked. After a few minutes she realized that the twins were actually reading the books she gave them - and it cracked her up - she said she thought they were going to be just fine entering kindergarten. The main thing she wanted to talk about was her "twin policy" - they are always placed in different classes - I am fine with it - I can see goods and bads to both situations - so I said whatever the school's policy was - that was what we were going to do. I think it will be weird at first for them - but they will adjust!

Barrett had his four month check up and shots (at the beginning of April) - and he just keeps on growing! He is 18 lbs and 28 inches long! They said he is average for a 9 month old! His weight is in the 90th percentile and his height is still off the charts! He keeps getting more and more fun! He loves to laugh - especially at the twins! They try everything to get him to crack up!
