Trains by Annabelle

This week Annabelle has been using unique items to create trains. Here are two I happen to catch with the camera. I especially like the one with the high heeled shoe or as Annabelle calls them, "Clippy-clop shoes."

Annabelle reads to Max!

Favorite things from the morning:
Max laughing in glee and excitement right before he starts to nurse!

Annabelle singing Johnny Cash, "I went down, down, down, to a burning ring of fire..."

Annabelle started her much anticipated Ballet class on Thursday. She was dressed and ready 2 hours early.










Once at the class she was a serious student, trying everything her teacher asked. Hopping, jumping, skipping, hands on hips, toes pointing! In the car on the way home from class, she said, "I want to go there again!"
Look for new (hopefully better) photos after next week's class!
