Here it is!

Abe insisted on getting it out of the box himself- " he is very strong now that he is four"

Thank you!

Thank you Papa and Grams! The scooter is perfect for Abe. It looks big boy and has trucks on the bottom - Abe pointed this out to me - he says he is part "skater boy" when he rides it! It seems like Skater boy is his life goal at this point... Wearing a skater boy jacket.. skater boy shoes- all on the skater boy scooter- the whole skater boy package if you will..

YES!!

Did we actually have to ride it in the house? the answer is YES! It is actually quite heavy- I could hear Abe grunting- and trying to do something- I walked around the corner to see what on earth he was doing (this time! ) He was trying to take uptwo flights of stairs! Why? That is a great question.. he wanted to sleep with it! I ended up carrying it upstairs and putting right next to him so he could sleep with it! Abe LOVES the scooter- he is not fast- painfully slow, in fact, but he is getting better at it each day- he even rides across the street to his friends' house- seriously, I think he could get there quicker just walking...

the shuffle

Shuffling at the barre.

little dancers

This is part of the class getting ready to do their tap exercises.. Ohh the tap records we used to listen to. shuffle step, shuffle step shuffle step, ball change turn :) The newer lessons are equally as boring and are on cd. Not that guy mr. Monotome),but a very cheerful lady. Parker doesn't seem to mind the CD though- they are getting to learn something new- a cramproll :)

leaps

Parkers dance teacher Miss Linda is very smart- she has been teaching dance lessons for many years- she is sooo creative and I am always amazed when we are able to watch class. I don't remember learning my leaps, I remeber learning many many things, but not leaps- she has them jump over the carpet "islands" as they are learning their leaps.. They havea blast!

Jazz hands...
