My little dancer

 Z started ballet class in March.  It's a beginner's ballet class for 2.5 to 3 year olds.  It was so adorable to see a group of little girls all dressed in pink ballet outfits dancing together!

 Everyone sitting ready to warm up!

 Z is good at following the teacher's moves.

She loves it~!
 
Love it when Z started to freestyle! Hahahahah!!!

We're back!

After a long hiatus, we are happy to be back!  2011 has been a very exciting year for us so far, full of changes and new opportunities~

Toronto Trip 08/2010















We went on a last minute trip to Toronto the week before Z's 2nd birthday.  I was pretty excited about going since I've always wanted to visit Canada.  This would also be Z's last free trip as a "lap infant."














Peeka...














..Boo! at Toronto airport















Getting a ride to our rental car.

After breakfast & a much needed nap, we visited Riverdale Farm @ downtown Toronto.







Nice day at the farm


















Visiting the chickens



























Very picturesque.














Z loves saying hi to bees.














On Tuesdays, there's a farmer's market at the farm.  We bought some organic blueberries, nectarines & grapes.  They weren't the sweetest, but very flavorful.  The strawberry ice cream was delish!














Z met a new friend at the park.  Her name is Wednesday.















The two new friends playing ball together.














My blueberry baby.














The next day was rainy, so we had a leisurely lunch at Graceful Vegetarian restaurant @ Markham.  The portion was huge and everything was yummy!  Z and I stuffed ourselves.

For dinner we went to the EX (yay! fair!)

Chilling with daddy after visiting the farm animals



























My favorite fair food here.














The waffle was hot and crunchy with cold and creamy ice cream...yum!

Savored this quiet moment with Timbits.














Niagara falls!  So hot.














suited up and ready to see the falls up close.


 The American side.














The Canadian side.
























All wet.













on the last day we went to the Riverfront pier.  It was such as nice day and we really wanted to take the ferry to the islands.  Too bad we were short on time.  Nevertheless Z had a great time running up and down the pier and waving at people leaving on a boat.  they all smiled and waved back at her :0)  I don't know why but it makes me happy to see my little girl making other people smile, maybe it's because on some level they see what I know all along-she'super!

Kindergym


















Z loves her kindergym class.  Every class the kids do a different gymnastic activity.  Today it was the trampoline.  Z loves jumping so this was right up her alley.


















Z loves it!  She went three times.














We ran late so we missed the songs.  Z didn't seem to mind though. Here she was enjoying bubble time.














Super excited


















Grandpa came to class with us today, so he joined Z for marching with bells~

Z wanted some muffins















Z helped mixing all the ingredients together (yes, even cracking the eggs) and started filling each muffin cup after I showed her how.














Love those lil' chubby hands































Almost ready for the oven!














Saying "chee" to the camera














checking on her muffins














She kept checking to see if they were ready


















Finally they were done! They look good.  Now the taste test














Still too hot.  blow


















Z really wanted to eat it but couldn't














"Now? mama??"


















Touch test indicated it was still too hot


















blow.  Longest minute in Z's life.














Oh yay!


















All of Z's hard work paying off.  Good job Z!
