All The Firsts

Sutherlan had her first dance class Monday night. She absolutely loved it! She was so excited to start and was showing me all the dance moves she was going to be doing. She is taking Ballet/Tap and was very excited to try out her new tap shoes. After class, she told me all about it (parents aren't allowed to watch - we have to wait outside in the waiting room :0) She said everyone was tapping their feet when they weren't supposed to and she was listening to the teacher and got a "star" sticker on her hand for listening!! I was very proud of her. She will be going to dance class every Monday from 4:00 - 5:00. I think she is going to love it!



Sutherlan with some of her friends at the dance studio -- three beautiful ballerinas!

Sutherlan also started 4K this week! She has been anxiously awaiting school starting ever since Dylan started school. She was so excited Tuesday morning that she woke up at 7:15 and sat up in bed and said, "Is it morning yet?..Is it time to go to school?" She asked me every 5 minutes if it was time yet and begging me to take her to school. We ended up having to leave the house early and go sit in the parking lot and wait for 10:00. When I picked her up, she was very excited to tell everyone about her day. We called Kiki and Pops and Nana and Papa to tell them all about it.

Of course, I had to continue tradition with Sutherlan and have her pose in the driveway with her backpack. Here it is....



This morning was her second day and she slept in this morning....until 8:45. I woke up her to get ready, but she did ask if we could do like yesterday and go sit in the lot and wait. So, we ended up leaving around 9:40 (her school is RIGHT across the street) and sitting in the parking lot until 10:00. Today, she came home singing songs from school and showing Dylan the moves to the songs they learned. She said she LOVES school and can't wait to go back tomorrow :)!!

Oh my gosh she is absolutely adorable!!!! I know she will just love dance-I did!! I can't wait to come to a recital!!! And so glad she loved school-that is great! I also can't wait to come see Dylan play. I am hoping we can make it to one of the Fall Ball games if they are on a weekend...And, this is so random, but there is a little girl in 2nd grade at my school and her name is Sutherlan-isn't that crazy! Spelled exactly the same. I saw her name outside a 2nd grade door and went in so I could see her. I couldn't believe it!
