Ada started taking ballet last year. She really wasn't the biggest fan. I had to force a screaming, kicking Ada into her ballet clothes every week. She got better as the year went on and they started preparing for their recital. They performed 'The Ice Queen' in May and Ada's class got to dress up as mice. She loved her sparkly costume and the fact that she got to wear makeup. It was so adorable to watch her up there. Afterward, she couldn't stop talking about the finale where all the dancers came onto the stage at once. That must have been her favorite part! Luckily, she decided she wants to do ballet again. She started about a month ago and has been much more willing to go each week.
I just can't get over those lashes

The cutest little mouseAda graduated from preschool in June. Her class performed 'The Three Little Pigs' and sang lots of songs. Her teachers decided to give presents to everyone based on what they think they'll be when they grow up. They decided Ada will be an artist and they gave her lots of art supplies. They really nailed that one on the head! She loves to draw and color and spends lots of time at the table every day doing so. It was a cute program and fun to see her with all her friends.

Ada with her cute teacher Miss Missy (who is now Kate's teacher)Ada turned five in July, but we'll do a separate birthday post.
Then in August, Ada started Kindergarten! What a crazy thing! Hard to believe she's that old. She absolutely loves school. She is in the French Immersion Program and I can't believe all the French she was learned already. She knows colors, shapes, months of the year, days of the week, how to count to 16, and lots of random words and phrases. She has already made lots of friends. We went to her school carnival last week and I couldn't believe how many people said 'hi' to her! She loves doing her homework every day but not necessarily being read to for 20 minutes. She walks to school every day with some neighbors and then Kate and I walk to pick her up when she's done. I'm so glad she enjoys school and is doing so well.
The big first day
Lining up ready to start. She wasn't nervous at all!Here are some random pictures of our cute little Ada:

How cool that she is in the French immersion program. I wish they had something like that down here. She is adorable. I think it's funny that whenever we get together Ada and Adie just can't seem to get along because they really have a lot in common. Adie spends hours a day at the table drawing and coloring too and she spends the rest of the day dancing and practicing ballet.
Ada is getting so big! I can't believe how beautiful she is.
