Goose time

Goose is turning into quite a big girl! 4-year-olds are capable of doing quite a lot, and she lets us know it. We discovered that a ballet class for 3-5 year-olds was taking place at the YMCA at the very same time as the homeschool-gym-class the older two kids attend every Monday (during which time Goose and Mouse are in the childcare area, and I am working out). This was a no-brainer for all concerned... We signed her up on the spot, and Monday was her first day. She was very, very excited - and she loved it. She was also very cute, as photo evidence will attest. She now can do an arabesque on demand.

Goose is also relishing her preschool class, taught by Mrs. Tanner this year, and meeting on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Our wonderful babysitter Stephanie does her dropoff and pick-up each day as I work during those hours, so it was a special treat for me to attend her preschool field trip with her on Thursday to the pumpkin patch, with Mouse in tow as well. We had a ball:
Hay-bale jumping
Picking just the perfect pumpkin
Cool, old tractor pulling the hayride.
