Noelle has been coming with me for several weeks now to take Anna Kate to dance.  Last week, they were playing a special ballet, “Red light, green light,” and she asked me if she could play.  I asked the teacher and she was so excited to let her play with the class.  So after the class, Noelle said, “Mom, I think I want to take dance with Anna Kate.”  Up until this point, she has NEVER wanted to take dance, and I’ve asked her every year (you guys that know me know I have).  The class is for 3-6 year olds, so I made sure she realized she would be the oldest, and she was cool with it… so starting this week, Anna Kate and Noelle are going to take dance together with Rose’s friend, Katie, lol!  Rose just runs in and out of the room.  I just can’t justify paying to chase her around and distract the class.  Rose and Katie looks like twinkies, so those that don’t read this will probably just assume it’s Rose with the girls, lol!

See them holding hands?  Aww… Anna Kate was so proud to have sissy join her!

The game of “Red light, green light” that started Noelle back in dance… she will have her finest tutu on this week, lol!  That reminds me, I’ve got to get her some new ballet shoes; snap!

Cindy’s middle child, Cayden, learned as song when he was in pre-school that went like this: “A little bit of love goes a long long way, a little bit of love goes a long long way, Oh! a little bit of love!”  Well, sweet Cayden replaced all of his letter “l’s” with “w’s)… I would always call and ask him to sing me his version of the song, and I’ll never forget his sweet little singing voice belting out: “A wittle bit of wove goes a wong wong way, a wittle bit of wove goes a wong wong way, Oh! a wittle bit of wove!”  The girls and I love to sing this song together, thanks to pre-school Cayden for teaching it to us!  Now Cayden is 18, about to graduate, and all grown up!  How does time fly so quickly!?!

Here’s the handsome graduate!  I’ve had a blast watching you grow up since you were an itty bitty baby… I need to scan some pictures of me holding you as a baby, so everyone can see what a precious little bundle you were… now you’re such a young gentleman with a spring to your step and charm like no other (with the exception of your dad, cause that’s where you got it)!  Cayden, we wove you!

Sometimes the littles and I just “hang out” creating our own fun in the mornings!  I love these special times with my babies!

This day, Anna Kate was pretending to be a superhero with a dish towel as her cap connected with painter’s tape.  Love her imagination!

Rose still loves a good game of peek-a-boo!

And there she is!  Our happy little baby Rose who’s crazy about playing silly games and “Minnie Mouse!”  Love her contagious laughter!
