"Come One Come All" - Circus Time!!!

We have had a VERY busy week!! Sydney started swim lessons on Monday. We started in the Parent/Child class where I was in the pool with her. By day 2, the instructor said we should move up to Level 1 class because Sydney was ready to begin learning swim strokes. This meant I would not be in the pool with her. This freaked me out because the water is above her head and she would need to latch on to the side of the pool until the instructor was ready for her. She is the youngest in the class - most kids are 4-5 years old!! She LOVES it!! I stay right at the edge of the water and make sure she is holding on securely - yes, over protective, I know!! But she's my baby!! She has one more week left of lessons and then we will practice at home with her for a bit. She got to used to wearing floaties and now has a false sense of security when she gets into the pool with them!! So, we are trying to get her to understand that she can sink to the bottom if she doesn't learn how to swim.

Yesterday, we went to the Circus!! So much fun and we had awesome seats!! I really don't know who was more excited to go...Me, Daddy 0r Sweetie!! We had a great time and it was a great show!! My pictures of the actual circus didn't turn out so well but at least we have awesome memories!! Enjoy the pictures!!

Their newest baby elephant!! They brought him out at the end of the show!! So cute!!

We had so much fun watching her expressions and excitement during the show!!

Clowns, clowns and more clowns!!

Beautiful bright costumes!!

She loved to watch the "Lions"!!

So funny!! She is watching an act up in the air over our heads!!

Same act - so funny!!

She got to pick a toy out - she picked this horse!! She has been playing with it almost nonstop since!! She has her Barbies ride him.

Clown noses!!

Silly girl!!

Before the show, we got to go on the floor and meet the entertainers and try on costumes!! She was a little nervous and overwhelmed, especially of the guys on stilts!!

Below are some of my favorite pictures!!! Sydney is going through a stage right now where she loves to dress up and put on impromptu shows!! The pictures below were taken this week!!

I swear, she put this ensemble together herself!! This is her "Super Hero" outfit!!

Could she be any cuter!!!!!

Before swim lessons. Love her profile!!

She was "posing" for the camera. She actually wanted me to keep taking more and more pictures!!

She was so proud of this moment!! She decided to set up a picnic for all of her friends. She actually did all of this herself!! So cute!!
