Date day with mom

Taking off work today to spend with the girls turned into the best decision! Not only did the weather cooperate completely, but the girls had lots of ideas in their minds and we were able to accomplish all of them. First stop: the local bakery for a "big foot please!".
Sidney chose the donut with chocolate and sprinkles. The smell in a bakery is simply overwhelming; I would have a hard time refraining from indulging myself if we spent even one more minute inside!
Then it was off to spend the next 2 hours at a park near our first home. Regan vividly remembers spending hours upon hours at this park over the last few years. Sidney obviously can't recall playing there considering the last time she visited she was only 19 months old.
This slide is F-A-S-T! Always has been. Sid bonked her head good trying to go down alone.
Best to stick with a sister :)
It was a lot of "mom watch me!", "mom give me a push", "mom, catch us!". Loved giving them 100% attention and forgetting about technology for the morning.
While waiting for a friend/old neighbor to arrive, Regan found various plays to "hang out".
Sidney, on the other hand, was eager to explore every inch of the playground. And this particular playground is incredible!
And finally, it was off to dance class. Today was Bring a Friend and since I didn't quite fit the bill, Regan asked if she could bring her sister! How sweet :)
Watching 2.5 year old Sidney participate fully in an organized dance class was amazing. She listened intently and then suggested she sit out during the footwork portion :) A little too advance for her.

First it was stretching...
and then on to "across the floors" which were her favorite. She proudly told Ryan all about it when we got home tonight. She's definitely ready to start in her own class next fall when she turns 3. My little dancer!
I had an amazing day with my girls. I can't wait to do it again!
