Cinderella

We haven't had much fun news to report on lately. Sorry! Sweden did read me the Cinderella book on Monday. Although she can't "read" yet she certainly told the whole story from looking at the pictures! Impressive what their little minds retain.

Giddy Up!

Today is Western Day at preschool... or "Cowgirl Day" if you ask Sweden! She went to school in her new boots. She couldn't wait to get there to see if the boys in her class had boots and hats on, too! She calls her cowgirl boots "running boots" because she likes to run in them!

Sweden and some of her "ranchmates!" haha

Words of Wisdom

Sweden and I have deep conversations on the way to school every morning. It's her chattiest time of the day. Well, yesterday, out of the blue, she said, "Mommy, I don't want to get big." To which I replied, "I don't want you to get big either, but one day you will be a grown up." To which she replied, "And I can make coffee??!!" And then she asked if Daddy was a grown up. She was more excited about making coffee than knowing that Daddy was a grown up also! Ha ha.

I'm a Ballerina!

Sweden started ballet classes this week. She was very, very excited. We went last week and got all of her leotards, ballet shoes and new "tappy" shoes. She was ready to go. There were about 13 little girls in her class. I was able to watch the lesson on a television in the lobby. She paid close attention to everything going on, but she just stood there the whole time!! (Let's not mention that we know that to her though!) She switched her shoes when told to and would stand up and sit down when told, but she didn't dance at all! It always takes her a while to get comfortable, but I am really hoping this will help her to come out of her shell a bit more! She said it was fun and she got a lollipop from her teacher when class was over... Can't wait to see how next week goes!
