Princess Ballerina McKinley

For a year McKinley has been looking forward to her 4th birthday so she can go to "ballerina class". Well, the day finally arrived two days before her birthday! She goes to gym-dance every Monday for an hour and it costs $22/month (this is for my reference in the future). She comes home and teaches everyone (including Jefferson, Truman and Lincoln) her moves. Reagan is the most attentive student, but the boys are not far behind!

For her birthday she wanted a castle cake so I built her a castle out of treats. The cake was delicious and beautiful. Mmmmm, birthday cake... Anyway, she got ballerina clothes, a queen dress and crown, a princess blanket, lip gloss and a bike for her birthday. She and Reagan are a pair of princesses/ballerinas/mommies all day every day.

McKinley is a very attentive daughter, watching and learning everything I do as a mom. If you don't know where something is at our house, she knows where to find it. She helps me cook dinner every night and can hang up laundry without any help from me. The boys can't do this yet! She also knows how to really clean up. She sees clutter and tidies it up when she is in the cleaning mood. All of that plus her sunny attitude makes her a pretty fun four-year-old to have around.
