Izzy had her first dance class yesterday, and she absolutely loved it. She’s able to walk on her toes and spin around – that’s all she’ll share with us so far. Marlo took her, and when she got home, Izzy self volunteered herself to go down for nap after her lunch.
Then today, Marlo and I played tennis (I won of course) – but Anna, Izzy, and Joe came as well. For about a total of 5 minutes, Izzy would swing at balls that Anna was throwing to her. When she hit them, she was so happy. “Look Daddy” she would scream out.
Then we went to the pool after tennis, where we played a new “bump” game. It’s basically tackle me under the water, but Izzy will let me do it to her too, which is great because its getting her used to being under water even more. We have her signed up for gymnastics, but I think we’re going to sign her up for swim lessons as well. When she sees other kids do things, she’ll follow right along (like today, when she saw a girl jump into 4 foot of water where she can’t stand and followed her right in).
We are able to do lots of things lately, and I’m glad we can enjoy them, and I’m glad Izzy and Joe enjoy them so far as well.
