skier/dancer

Caitlin started her new year with some exciting stuff. 
First, we took her skiing. We kept our expectations low knowing that it could be a fail or it could be amazing. It was amazing. She loved it! Last time we took her it was more for the fun of it, she didn't even fit in the boots. This time was a huge step towards legitimacy. She knows what skiing is and she wanted to try. We met up with the Turnbulls and got lunch to start then rented her stuff. Then we went to the bunny hill and she came down twice... grinning both times. Paul skiied with her between his legs or she skiied to the side as he held her hand. She totally supported her own weight, but did not want to fly solo very much.
We bundled Nolan up as much as possible (snowsuit+blankets+fleecey carseatbag+smaller blankets+ hat) And he didn't complain. He and I hung out and watched all the skiers.

Soon she was asking to "go on the chairs" so Paul took her on the chair lift. She loved the ride up and skiied all the way down asking Daddy to go faster. After that she was pretty worn out so we called it quits and ended on a high note. But I'm sure we will be hitting the slopes again soon!  


The next day was her first dance class. I searched for a place that would take 2 year olds because I just knew she would love it. We took her to Center Stage in Orem and love it she did. She loved wearing her tutu (she calls every skirt a tutu by the way) and we got there a little early and saw some other girls dancing and looked at the room where her class was and by the time class was ready to start she was so excited to get in there. She was adorable. She followed directions and behaved really well. And its just so cute to watch all of them. As soon as she walked out the door she said "I wanna do it again!"
