Oh my darling daughter. I don't even know where to start in trying to play "catch-up" here because honestly so much has changed and the difference between our 2 1/2 year old daughter and our 3 1/2 year old daughter is HUGE! I think at 2 1/2 we still kind of felt that she was a baby and even though we could see how quickly she grasped things, she was still our baby girl. But now, she's becoming more of a little girl each day. For starters she's HUGE! Well, tall that is. I don't know why this surprises me so much considering I'm near 6 ft tall and the Mr is over 6 ft tall but she's only 3 1/2 and she's already slightly over 41 inches tall! Isn't that crazy?!! Just this week in her ballet class it was brought to my attention just how tall that is. I was talking with some of the other mom's while also chasing Brycen all around the building and one of the mom's mentioned how nice it is that all the girls will be moving on to the next class together. This class is for 3 year and 4 year olds. I stated that Skylar wouldn't be moving until the following year because she is only three and it was just a dead silence followed by the sound of jaws hitting the floor. The other moms just couldn't believe that she was only 3 years old because of how tall she is and I guess I just assumed that the other girls in her class were also 3 but no, they're 4 and Skylar is much much taller. That's not to say that the other girls are short, they're probably right where they should be for 4. I am anxious to see how tall she'll actually end up being and of course we're all placing bets! Despite her being SO tall right now, I still think she'll be as tall as me which is 5'11 whereas my mom thinks she may actually get to be 6 feet tall. If that's the case I only hope there are more shops that cater to tall thin women because this is one of my greatest challenges - finding clothes that fit right!
So, speaking of ballet...Skylar has been a little prima ballerina now for almost a year and she loves it. I'm not sure if she loves it because it is so "girly" or because it's the one and only part of her life that she doesn't have to share with her brother. Either way, she seems to enjoy prancing around and then teaching me her newest moves. Here's my sweet ballerina with some of her friends:
Things that she has learned so far is toe tapping, chasse, plie, saute, and bowing. I'm sure there's more but these are the things she screams at me when she's trying to teach me the right moves!
