Josie and Gigi's first dance class

When I became a mom to a little girl of course one of the first things that crossed my mind was putting her into her first dance class. I have waited for this day, dreamed of this day - so when Kim texted me and asked if Josie would like to join her bff Gigi this summer in a little creative movement class I am sure you can imagine just how lighting fast I was to sign her up!

Kim and Gigi also gifted Josie with a beautiful recital costume worn by one of Gigi's big sisters - it was such a special morning for my girl and my heart was a big heaping puddle the entire time.

The girls were too cute and excited - I grabbed this series of them after class. Watching them whisper and giggle together was so precious. Both of these girls are number three in a family with four siblings and they both have little brothers...they were also due on the same day so they are destined to be friends! I think I need to start a regular Josie and Gigi feature because they are just so fun together! Thank you Gigi for inviting us we are looking forward to years of dance classes and recitals!!

a tea party for Josie and Gigi

Each of these sweeties are number three in a family of four kids. They both have baby brothers and they were due on the same day! It was such a treat this afternoon to have a little tea party while their older siblings were off adventuring with Gigi's mommy. After lunching for about an hour, a couple of books and coloring butterflies they headed up to Josie's room to play quietly with the door shut. Girls can be so different than boys sometimes, it was a rare and wonderful girly afternoon for us. Hoping to make these little tea parties more of a regular thing around here Josie just loved having her very own friend over all by her big girl self!

PS. I couldn't help but be reminded of a post I wrote almost five years ago to the day (HERE) about their oldest siblings Simon and Sylvia - they were both under two at the time and Levi was just three months old...I can NOT believe how fast and how much our families have grown!
