Saturday September 13th--1st dance class

Saturday was Nate's 1st dance class...he has been asking to take lessons for a long time now. We got him black ballet and black tap shoes complete with camo laces :) 

He was so excited ! Here he is leaving the house with his "dance clothes" we bought Friday night and his dance shoe backpack :)

He WOULD NOT go in during ballet time. He flipped out crying and holding on to us. He wanted to go home. Said he didn't want to dance.  There was a little girl there, Madison, that we knew from Little Gym a few months back. I thought that would help him go in..but no such luck! We could not even bribe him with donuts! 

But as soon as it came time for tap he was the first one in there with the biggest smiles! 

The pictures are through the 2 way glass...they came out crappy but you can see him!
They were called up 3 at a time to dance...he waited so nicely!

He got up and did his little dance ! Too cute! 


He is soo excited to go back next week. He said he would wear his tap shoes and watch during the ballet time. So we will see! Thank goodness he does tap for the recital :) 

Sesame Place with Ryan!

Sunday we went to Sesame Place with Ryan, Lauren and Pat. Nathan was so excited that he couldn't even nap on the way there! :) 

First ride Super Grover Coaster with Pat!

Then a spin on the merry go round.


Then we must pause for what happened next....I asked Nate (who was sitting in the stroller) if he wanted to go on Ernie's Bounce house..he said yes...turned to ask Ryan if he wanted to go...and went to get Nate out of the stroller and he was gone!!! We all started to look for him (Lauren stayed with the boys and the strollers) after going around the whole area at least 4 times and what seemed like hours (really only minutes) I alerted security...and at the same time Nathan was spotted. He had been trying to get on the bounce house the whole time. Not sure how we didn't see him....but he was there like nothing happened. He was fine until John and I started to holler at him ...he was strapped into the stroller the rest of the day unless he was holding someone's hand! THANKS for the heart attack Nate!!!

After regripping we headed over for some pictures with Big Bird and Elmo!






And against my best judgement we let Nate on Ernie's Bouncy Bed. ( I gave in because I truly believe that he didn't "run away" he just thought when I asked him if he wanted to go that was permission to go).

He had a blast bouncing around. 

Then it was off for a flight in the hot air balloons.. Colby LOVED this!

Time to Blast off with Elmo. Nate and John rode 2x in a row. Got to love the Platinum Passport :)

It was getting really hot in the sun..so the boys headed off into the water park area. (Colby had fallen asleep...so I stayed with him and played photographer )


















Ryan, Lauren and Pat headed out after the water park. We hung around a little while longer, played some games and took one last spin on the merry go round.
Nate was almost asleep in the stroller when he spotted Zoe!



After the pics he climbed in and slept until 130 this am! He slept through being transfered into the car, then bed and even getting into his pjs. He was one tired little boy....after a little battle with Daddy he was asleep again for the night at 3 and was up and in the shower by 645! 

Thanks again for coming with us Lauren, Pat, and Ryan we had a blast!
