Hi Poop!

My little Emma is so funny! Her vocabulary is expanding, but her only sentences so far are only 2 words, mostly Hi ________ and Bye ________. Today we were eating lunch in the backyard when Anna said "Mama there's Poop!" So Emma gets up to check it out and starts waving and saying "Hi Poop", "Hi Poop". Hee hee :) She really likes to say Hi and wave. She often will go around the table and say Hi to everyone when we are eating dinner... Hi Mama, Hi Papa, Hi Woof, Hi Anton (she can almost say it), Hi (what she says for Anna is unintelligible), Hi Me. She always includes herself and even waves at herself. Here she is this morning with Anton's hat on. Anytime she sees it laying around she puts it on like this.

Here's the Valentine's Anna & Emma made at church a couple of weeks ago. They LOVE doing crafts!!
In other news, Anna went to her 1st ever ballet class at the YMCA on Tuesday. I forgot my camera, but she didn't have her leotard on anyway. She kept saying she didn't want to go so I told her that we would just go and watch and she didn't have to do it if she didn't want to. Of course it only took a few minutes of watching before she wanted to join the other little girls. She had lots of fun jumping and spinning around. Tonight she put on one of her leotards and showed Tony all that she did at ballet class. She said "Mama maybe I can wear this to dance class next time!" Hopefully I'll remember the camera for her second ever ballet class!
Anton is signing up for his classes next year. We're all confused about AP and Dual Credit, so hopefully I can straighten that out tomorrow with one of the teachers. During our discussion tonight, we were having a hard time explaining why college credit for Trigonometry wouldn't really be helpful if you're going to study engineering in college. I realized it might be helpful for Anton to look at a college catalog, so I looked up the one for Mechanical Engineering at UT online. I printed out the little course flowchart and we browsed through the online catalog. It was fun to see him get so excited. I have no idea what most of those classes even mean, but he was ready to go take them all tomorrow! I doesn't occur to me to even take pictures of stuff like that, but I bet he'd be willing to re-enact this event so I can get Tony to take a picture. :)

Dual Credit means you get actual college hours for taking the class. They may or may not actually apply to your major but will at the very least make you a sophmore faster. AP just means it's college level work, but no college credit. I think you also have to pay for the Dual Credit courses. You probably already know all of this. Man, those last couple of years of high school were stressful; it's all coming back to me!

Hi Lisa,
I am going to have a million questions about ballet at the Y, I know Bella is going to want to do that. We have Jacob in soccer this Spring so we're just getting started on the world of "extracurriculars".
