optimism

So, the reason the title is optimism is because this could so easily turn into a overwhelmed tired mama rant - so repeat with me OPTIMISM .  We are still getting through the transition period here and I have decided to stop thinking about how long it might take and just take it day by day.  I thought things would be a little off kilter for maybe a week or two but I can see clearly now that it will take longer.  So bare with me over the next few weeks, posts will be lacking.

I was only able to sneak one photo

after which i was informed that there are no pictures allowed in class....hmph.....

Yesterday Isabelle had her first dance class (a Christmas gift from grandparents and aunts & uncles).  And well it went as well as I anticipated.  I admit, I did have some irrational thoughts that Isabelle would be so excited about dance class that she would immediately turn into some out going and brave young lady.  Alas, she was reserved, observing, and wary of all the new faces...with baby in arm I had to escort and dance Isabelle through class...at least someone is getting some exercise I suppose....
