FINALLY Maya is old enough to take a dance class! I've been waiting & waiting to be able to sign her up for a dance class. Now, she's in!
I signed Maya up for a tap dance class to start her out. I thought that maybe since she'd be making noise with her feet - that might keep her interested in the class. So here she is on her first day of class, trying on her tap shoes for the first time. When we got to her class we found out that no one else had signed up. So I guess she is getting individual lessons for the group price. I think that she would probably do better in a group setting, but she is slowly getting the idea of following the teacher.
Making up her own dance already!
I know it has once again been a while since an update has been made, but I need some help in remembering that we have a blog sometimes!This summer flew by so fast! I would have to say that one of Maya's favorite part was getting to visit with her cousin Beatrix, or "My Bea" as Maya calls her.
Beatrix came to visit us while spending the month of August with our grandparents. I was very excited for her to get a chance to experience the summer stay with Grandma & Grandpa because to me it was always something I enjoyed. This was her first visit with them on her own, and I really hope she enjoyed it. I use to go and spend a month, if not the whole summer with them every year since I was young. So it was nice to see that Bea would get that experience with them as well, especially since she lives so far away from them. And I'm sure that they really enjoyed that time too. It seemed that every night Bea was here she asked if Maya could spend the night with her. They really bonded well & had a good time with each other. 
We also got a visit from Poppy this summer! We were very excited about this as well. I took some time off while he was here, and had a really nice time getting to spend some time with him. Maya's first question to him is "Poppy, do you have chocolate?" She absolutely LOVES chocolate, and since he always tells her that he has some when we talk to him on the phone, she wants to know up front where it is!
