The Every-day Life and Adventures of an American Bombshell

So life goes on, even when blogging does not. Here are some highlights from the last, um,  two months that I have been absent:

Amelia started her first dance class.

If there's anything in this world that's cuter than little girls in leotards and tutus, I don't know what it is. 

Another first for Amelia was her first trip ice skating. We took her to the rink near our apartment in Central Park. She LOVED wearing the ice skates. This girl isn't typically real big on posing for photos for me (which would be why I have no great pics of her in her "dancer girl outfit") but she made certain I got several of her in her "big girl ice skates." 

She didn't end up loving the ice quite as much as the skates and got pretty tired after two or three times around the rink. I told her she was lucky she wasn't Chinese; she'd be practicing two hours a day on the ice at her age, preparing for her Olympic career. 

Lots of museum trips with our co-op preschool group.

These shots were taken at the Children's Museum of Manhattan and the Museum of Modern Art. Amelia's turning into quite a cultured, metropolitan young lady. 

We had another visit from Aunt Sharon and Cousin Caroline. It was pretty cold outside so we spent most of our time indoors. The girls managed to entertain themselves just fine. 

Between playgroup, music class, dance class, preschool and long weekends, we've had a busy couple months.

Oh, and someone had a birthday. Next post.
