Emily has started going to a kids class at our gym. The first 30 minutes is an exercise class for preschoolers followed by a 30 minute ballet class. It is great because it is all the fun without the hassle of an end of the year dance recital and all the costs and commitments that come with that program. And Mark is happy in the nursery and I get to do my own class. Everyone is happy! Best ballet class in town. Here is video of Emily dancing in class. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MliRrdvTAU0

Mark would love to join Emily in the dance class if he was old enough. He definitely still enjoys putting on a tutu and dancing with Emily. He also likes all his other dress up gear. He loves his fireman hat but he also likes his cap, mask and cowboy hat. Here he is playing in his costumes.

I have been cutting Mark and Emily's hair myself but decided that Mark needed a professional cut. This was a first for Mark and only the second time for Emily so they were pretty excited. They were both very still and serious during the cut. Snipits had a google coupon so we went there. It is a more time consuming process than doing it myself but it definitely looks better.

At the end they get cards to put in a special machine that spits out a prize. Sort of like Buddy Bucks but with an actual prize. One more pic...this one shows off Em's new bob.
