Yay, Ballet!!! +

Can you believe we finally got Leia Rose a spot in a 5-year-old ballet class at Artgarden on Saturdays?!? The only reason why she was allowed in the class was because she was in extended day (otherwise she would have had to have turned five by October 16). Anyway, . . . hoooray! Here she is going to her first ballet class that will lead to the real "show" (the recital). : ) No one was happier than Leia Rose today!
And later Leia had a very creative idea to make a dinosaur out of one of our boxes! "It's a girl dinosaur that's purple with blue poka-dots," she said. : )
Leia wrapped up her play today by being Diego. : ) Here is Diego with his rescue pack (and flashlight?). Leia always uses the zipline, just like Deigo does on the show, when she plays this game. It always involves the same series of events: small animal gets into a predicament, small animal needs to be rescued, Alicia researches info about the animal on her computer, Diego rides the zipline in transit, Diego fends off mean animal, Diego rescues small animal. Today I got to be a lion and then a crocodile, while Daddy and Annie got to be the monkeys (Bo-Bo's) who needed to be rescued.
