School and Dance Begin!




Livy and London both started school and dance and they are both loving it. London started preschool last week. She goes three days a week for 3 hours each day. It is fabulous for me and for her :). It is with a lot of her friends from church so she already feels comfortable which is really nice. The first day she ran into the classroom and told me goodbye without looking back! Livy started school on the 12th of August so she has been going for a few weeks. She seems to have a really great teacher and is liking the 3rd grade.
Dance started up the same week as Livy's school and both Livy and London are taking classes. London has a little combo class on Thursdays for an hour. They do ballet and tap. She absolutely LOVES it! She is so excited to be like Livy and go into the room by herself and have me watch her from the window. It is just about the cutest thing to watch. She puts her dance clothes on everyday and she calls her tap shoes her "tappers". So when we head off to dance she asks me if I have her ballets and her tappers in my purse. It is a good thing London is so cute because she is sure a lot of trouble! Livy also started dance and is taking 7 hours a week. Yes, it is a lot but she LOVES it and asks for more. I finally had to tell her we couldn't afford to do anymore and she doesn't have time to do more! She is in the Mini Company again which is 3 hours a week and then she has a ballet class, hip hop class and 2 jazz classes. They are starting to work more on technique this year and I can already see some progress. It is so fun to watch her dance. She is getting good and she just loves it.
The last thing starting up is Soccer. Livy starts soccer tomorrow. Eric is coaching again and Livy is lucky enough to get a few of her friends on her team again this year. She is a very busy girl but she seems to need that. When she doesn't have a lot to do she looks to me for entertainment and that just doesn't work for me :). So, here we go with dance competitions, soccer games, preschool carpools and homework! Savvy will just have to be my little buddy come along for the ride! :)

That pic of London is too dang cute! You can see how excited dhe is to start dance. I can't wait till Alyssa can start dance.
Sounds like you are one busy mama this year with school, dance practices, and soccer, not to mention a new little baby. How do you do it Amy?!
