Ah yes, two of my favorite things that Claire participates in, Gymboree & Ballet. Gymboree is great. We used to go to Gymboree every Saturday morning but as Claire got older she switched classes and we now go Friday nights. Gymboree has been a great activity for Claire for many reasons. It gets her out and she gets to meet new friends. Claire met her best friend Katelyn at Gymboree. They are like two peas in a pod. Every time we go Claire is so excited to see Katelyn. She always watches the door and says "Where's Katelyn?" At Gymboree the kids sing, they find hidden things, use their imagination, and best of all play and laugh together. It has been a great experience.
Katelyn's parents Clay and Allison (check out their blog here) told us that we should sign Claire up for ballet. Well I must admit, great suggestion guys! Claire loves ballet. She loves to dance, do the balance beam, and sing in class. She does very well in class. Sometimes she is a little eccentric and dances by herself while she watches her shadow in the sunlight shining on the floor through the window. But honestly, it's wicked cute. Her recital is in May and I am so excited for it. Here are a few pictures I snapped with my phone from Gymboree and ballet:

You're doing a great job catching up with your blog. Claire is going to really appreciate it when she gets older. I'm so glad that Claire and Katelyn have become such good friends. They are so cute together!
