Celebrating Molly's Half Birthday

We have had quite a day! Started this morning with a 'binky hunt' because last night was the LAST night for binkies. Three and a half year olds are far too old for such foolishness! And as Molly says they just don't taste good anymore.

Later in the day we went to Freeport Bakery--our neighborhood bakery--and celebrated with a chocolate cupcake with rainbow sprinkles (Molly ate the sprinkles and frosting and left the cake behind...sounds like a certain GrammiE!)



And we finished our day with Molly's first ballet/tap dance class...a complete hit! She LOVED it! LOVED.IT! All day she talked about being on a stage. I tried explaining that this was a class, to learn but she knew that there would be a stage because she had been practicing her 'moves' at home. She loved the class but at the end, as we walked to the car, she asked "but mommy, why wasn't there a stage?"














And the class ended with a little free dance (and freeze). I don' t know if you can see this well but Molly's 'freeze' was in her exact (and dramatic) pose each time. So funny and Too Fun! A fantabulous day!
