Dance Recital

Evie had her first dance recital! The girls were so cute! I took Evie back to the dressing room to put on the finishing touches of her makeup and wait for the call back stage! She was so excited, and did such a good job.

What a wonderful Mother's Day present to our family.  She is absolutely perfect and beautiful.

When Evie met Kate, her first question was "Do you like princesses?"

Writing

Since January Evie has been able to write her name. At first, she often mixed up the letters or would write her entire name backwards (eivE), which was impressive to me! Now, she writes her name with ease. The other day I tried to teach her how to write Katy's name. That was a little more challenging. She could do it if she copied the letters. She doesn't remember how to spell it yet. Anyway, I am very proud of her regardless! 

Ballet Class

Parents were invited in to observe ballet class today. The girls were practicing their recital routine, and they needed an audience to watch them. Evie was so excited to have me inside of her class! Parents are never invited in to watch. We usually have to peak through the blinds.

A Nursery and a Big Girl Room

We finally have Kate (Katy) and Evie's rooms' fully transitioned and set up! After clearing out closets, reorganizing, moving furniture, painting, and shampooing the carpets, the rooms are ready. We just finished a couple of days ago!

My Pinterest inspired project

Evie's Big Girl Room

I made most of the wall art in Evie's room. Thanks to Pinterest, I found some fun and affordable ways to redecorate Evie's room. I love her zebra couch!
