Visions of college

This outfit, messy bun, and dance booties gave me visions of what Grace might look like in college going to dance class.  She wants to be a veterinarian but both Kyle and I can also see her majoring in music, dance, or fitness.


And, then we get these funny faces.



Grace loves to be "cozy"!

Girlfriends

One of the best things about 5th grade this year is that the 6 elementary schools in Stow all come together at Lakeview Intermediate. In the beginning, this was a little scary. I just wanted Grace to have a friend to sit with at lunch.  But, as the year has progressed, Grace has made some good friends on her own. She talks a lot about Sara, Lily, Lonnie, Ella, and Maggie. She is involved in group texts and I can hear Facetime calls when she is up in her room.  I'm not ready for this "tween" thing, but if it is going to happen, it is nice to know she has good girlfriends to experience it with.

Hangin' out in Cleveland

Yesterday, we went to see STOMP at Playhouse Square. Kyle bought the tickets for us and his mom as a Christmas gift. It was especially timely since Grace has started percussion lessons in her school's band this year. It think she was amazing at how they performers created music from common items like brooms, sinks, trash can lids, and buckets.


We all loved the show and dinner after. But one of the most fun parts of the day was walking around downtown. It is too bad the old arcades can't make it as vibrant retail venues. They are so pretty!





Where's Grace?

Torture stretch

I am not sure what the technical term is, but in Grace's ballet class they call this the torture stretch. But she is so flexible, it is easy for her.
