Happy Birthday!

We celebrated Audrey's 3rd Birthday with a trip to the magical Kingdom, otherwise known as the happiest place on Earth. We had such a great time, who wouldn't have fun at Disneyland? I feel like a kid again every time I step foot onto into Main Street. This time we stayed at The Grand Californian resort, totally worth it. It's great to just walk to Disneyland and take a break in the middle of the day to rest and head back for more fun. We stayed till the end of the firework show, which we really loved. Audrey wore her Birthday button that was given to her by the hotel and everyone who passed us wished her a "Happy Birthday." It was really cool and made her feel so special. The next day we enjoyed breakfast with a few characters that Audrey loves; Pluto, Goofy and Chip and Dale. It truly was a magical Birthday that she will never forget.

My little ballerina

I have been excited to get into a Mommy and me activity with Audrey. She has been expressing an interest in ballet and wearing ballet shoes. She loved going to the store to try them on so I thought it would be fun to try a class and see how it goes. I found a great local place in Mission Hills. The teacher is great and Audrey loved her! When class began, she asked us all to take a seat and Audrey went right over to her and sat in her lap. It was so much fun and such great exercise. Audrey learned a few ballet moves and a few French terms too. Miss Michelle teaches her students about the language used in Ballet and the importance of stretching and just having fun. Audrey was so tired when we left, and she really didn't want to leave. All of the students said "Merci" to Miss Michelle when they left and Audrey wasn't interested in doing so. When she woke up from her nap, she said to me, "Mommy, I didn't say Merci to Miss Michelle, I have to go back.
