Ballet & Tap Class

Emily started Ballet & Tap two Tuesday. The first class was not good. She was so excited about going but when we got there and she had to go into the classroom by herself she was not having it. I think she thought it was like pre-school and I was leaving her for 2 1/2 hours. I tried my best to tell her and show her that I was sitting out in the lobby watching her on the TV. So I kind of forced her in and shut the door. My poor baby stood in the corner with her head down crying for 30 minutes. I felt like mommy of the year! When we got in the car she said "Mommy I can't dance!" I felt so bad for her. When we got home I sat her down and had a little mother daughter pep talk! Everyday until her next class we put her tap shoes on and tapped away in the kitchen. She loved it. So last Tuesday when it was time for class I asked her if she was ready to got to ballet and tap. She said yes. I did tell her that after this class if she didn't like it she didn't have to go anymore. This time Daddy and Mason came with us. When we got there and it was time to got in she gave me a kiss and said "Emie is ready to dance now!" I watched her on the TV and she did great! She needs to work on staying in her spot but hey she 3! I was so proud of her. She looked so happy :) After dance we took her to get a kiddie cone at Golly Gee! Looks like I have a little dancer on my hands!

Pre-School or bust

Today was that day that I have been dreading for months. That's right Emily's first day of pre-school! Last night when Brent and I were tucking her in instead of reading a story we looked through her baby book. She really enjoyed looking at baby Emie. For me it was sweet. I loved looking back and replaying the memories in my mind and smiling. My heart was overwhelmed.
This morning when I woke her up I surprised her with breakfast in bed. All of her favorites to make her feel extra special.



We loaded up Emily and Mason in the car for the trip to St. Stepehn's.




She did awesome when we got there. As soon as we pulled up she yelled "Ooooh there's Emie's school!" I took her picture in front of the school and then we headed in. We had to wait a couple of minutes before the door opened. When it was her turn to walk in I gave her a hug and a kiss and she said "bye mom I love you!" I walked away before I had second thoughts and grabbed her and ran. As I walked out of the building I started crying. When we got home I kept looking at the clock. It was the longest 2 1/2 hours ever! When we picked her up she said "I had a great time!" Brent & I took her to McDonalds after school to celebrate her 1st day. My little girl is growing up. And she is growing up into a beautiful little girl inside and out!

GOOOOO BUCKS!!!!!!

Today was the first day of OSU football and the Adams family was pretty excited! Emily has learned to say "go bucks" and if you say "O-H" she will say "I-O!" It's very cute! Mason and Emily got into the OSU gear right away this morning. Now Emily refuses to take her jersey off. I love football season and I love the fall!

Feels Like Fall

We have had some awesome weather! It really feels like fall. Mid 60's during the day and low 50's at night. I love opening up the windows and letting in the fresh cool air. We decided to head over to Cedar point on Sunday. The weather was perfect and the crowd was scarce. It was great to not have to deal with all the people. The kids had a great time like always. Mason is getting more and more brave on the rides. Emily is being a great big sister. She tells him "Don't worry Bubba hold on tight!" It's really sweet. We are getting a little use to the fall weather. Football opens up this weekend and we are pumped! GO BUCKS!!!
