Wordless Wednesday with Words

Well Eva has had a high fever since Monday night! But you wouldn't know it when the fever is controlled by the right dose of Motrin/Tylenol! Here she is just about an hour ago while feeling better. She did the yesterday too, but as soon as the medication wears off we are back into the fever zone again.

These photos are of her fixin up her area so no one can get to her! She has a "secret" spot where she is the only one who can get in and out! She just makes me laugh ... hopefully you can laugh too!

Wordless Wednesday

 

Eva's First Dance Lesson

So the excitement has been building for a little while now with Eva knowing that she is old enough to take dance lessons from Dana just like Emily has. This past Friday we got out Emily's old tap and ballet shoes, the first pair did not fit ... but her second set did, THANKFULLY because I had a manic child on my hands until we found the next pair in the attic. After making sure the shoes fit, she was off to having me find Emily's old dance clothing ... which I could only find one the purple, the pink is hiding somewhere unfound at the moment! So I will be doing weekly laundry until I can find the pink one, or as Eva tells Grandma Helen "mom will just buy me a new one!" Oh, if only it was that simple. That night her and Emily danced for a good hour together all dressed up with there tap shoes on!

When Eva woke up from her nap Monday, I announced that she had dance that night ... and before I knew it she was stripped down to not much in order to get dressed and ready to go! We had a whole hour to go, and we were all ready. Tights, dance dress & hair pulled back ... but she was not happy when I told her "tap shoes are only to be worn at dance"! Thankfully she got over it quickly.

We headed out the door with brother & sister ... sister being almost as excited as Eva was! Dropping her off was so much fun ... all the girls ready for dance, half of them it was there second year! When Dana came in she asked her "when do I get on stage" and we just threw our heads back and laughed! Eva went right over with her cousin and got ready to start. I headed out and there was no looking back ... but wait, I did look back in about three times. Each time she had the biggest grin on her face.

The kids and I headed over to the Library to wait out the 45 minute lesson. And then walked back over to the community center to pick her up! Oh, she just loved it! She asked if she could go give Dana a good bye hug and she went up to Dana, holding my hand, said "thank you" and gave Dana a big squeeze. Dana then tells me that three different times that night, Eva stopped and asked "now when to I get to go on stage and dance" ... might be a long year! Dance Recital is not tell May honey!

Well, I am off to sleep, it is very late for me! Hope you enjoy the pictures ... I sure have! -beryl

Here is Eva being her normal silly self, playing a little hide and seek with the camera before class starts!

Eva's cousin that is her age is in dance with her this year! Talk about fun for both of them ... Eva also has one of her preschool classmates in class with her too. It was fun to see a lot of other faces we knew also!

Eva goes to preschool today!

Yes, it is true ... my baby ... my little girl ...

went to preschool today!

She was beyond excited, we chould not get there soon enough.

Right now I am not sure who is more proud of Eva! Big sister Emily or me ... Emily didn't want to go to school today, she really wanted to take Eva to her first day of Preschool, then go to school! Both girls were giddy with the excitement that this day brought! -berylemily
