Happy Feet

Valentina had her Christmas dance performance. Since she is in hip-hop and tap this year, she did both of them. I just love watching those little feet fly!

Fancy Nancy

Valentina borrowed a Fancy Nancy book from the library and we read it together. It was really cute. So, as a little tribute to all things fancy, we had a dress-up night. Jewelry, tiara, high heels, sparkly dress and make-up - the more the better. And this is a final result. Ta-da!

First grade!

Valentina is in the first grade! In Belarus school starts September first, so I posted these pictures a week late on purpose. It is funny, after going to school for third year she's only in first grade. Well, now there's more homework to do, papers to sign and schedule to follow. Her teacher is Mrs. Marisol Metro. And there are a few kids from kindergarten class that she knew. Misha is going to stay home for another year because of his birth date.
