The Toy Shop Ballet...

The girls did so great.  I think Elliot was quite possibly born to be a clown.  My mom and I hand crafted her costume, she loved it and it matched her enthusiastic performance.  

Audra is so full of grace, quiet and serious about everything she does.  She works so hard to learn whatever teacher Nancy asks of them.

I still can't believe that at the ages of four and six these kids are excited and eager to get up in front of hundreds of people to show them what they've learned.  So proud of them and all they are becoming.

Getting ready...

Not many little girls have a world class hair stylist show up on their door step to do their hair for their ballet recital...thank you auntie Carlie...

This ballet was "The Toy Shop" and each of the classes were different toys made by the toy maker.

Audra's class were toy ballerinas...

Elliot's class were toy clowns...

Ballet...

It was the ballet this last weekend...more toy ballerinas and toy clowns to come...

Kindergarten graduation....

Last week was graduation for this little, big girl

 She has had the best year at The Mustard Seed with Ms. Humbert and friends...

Audra's class was pretty small...just six kids total.  This meant a lot of one on one attention, a lot of learning, playing and having the best year possible.

Audra's class recited all the memories versus that they have learned this year at one time.  Very impressive.

So it's off to big girl school and first grade next year.  We registered her at Rogers Elementary school this last week, the same school that I went to way back when.  

She is one smart little cookie...she is going to do great things.
