New Beginnings

The day before Dale's preschool started, we went to the open house to explore.  Dale gave his new teacher one huge smile before hiding behind Daddy's leg.

 

A smile and a crotch grab, that is.

Rose was already firmly planted in her spot between my legs.

Once we got inside the building, Dale went nuts exploring all the new toys.  We chose a play based preschool for Dale, because we wanted him to grow socially.  Plenty of time for all the other stuff later.

 

On the same day as the preschool open house, Dale's new dance class began.  Dale was super excited about his dance class.  He entered the building like he owned the place, changed into his ballet shoes, and walked right into his class with his new friends.

 

 

Dale appears to be the youngest in his class.  The teachers invited Dale to join the 4-5 year old class, even though he would be three when the class started.  Yay, Dale!

 

And the tap shoes!!!  When Dale puts those shoes on his feet, he gets a new burst of energy and a sparkle in his eye.

Future tap star.

Meanwhile, little sister Rose entertained the other mommas with her loud demands for everyone to say "Hi!" to her.

Even the mannequin was greeted by Rose.
