What's happening in Natalie's world?

Natalie is a very fun, and inquisitive 4 year old. She is ALWAYS asking questions and wanting to learn new things. She LOVES school and Dance and is doing very well in both. She can't wait to go to kindergarten next year, and reminds me about it every time we pass the school where she will be attending kindergarten. I on the other hand can't believe she's actually going to be five soon and going off to kindergarten. She loves to read and is learning new sight words all the time. She is so proud of herself when she learns or sounds out a new word. I only hope her love for learning continues.
She is also very excited about her new dance routine. Her Jazz class is doing a circus theme and they are going to be clowns. They are dancing to "Big Top" and "Be a Clown." They have learned most of the routine and are working on perfecting it before the spring shows. They are doing handstands and a kick line it's also really fast music so it's going to take a little work, but I know they will pull it all together. She is also learning a ballet routine to the song "Dance" she is excited because she gets to be the leader in that dance and lead them on stage. She is the last person in the circus dance and that is not as exciting. (I guess there are advantages and disadvantages to being the smallest in both classes.) This week is observation week so I hope to have some pictures or video to share soon.

Now for the really exciting news!

Yes, Natalie got her ears pierced this weekend.

She even got Hello Kitty earrings!!

She is so proud of herself for doing it and LOVES her new earrings.

Here are a few more fun pictures from this month.

Natalie went through the obstacle course at a Pump it Up party all by herself.
