Dancing with smiles
I love dance recitals. I love how excited Jordan gets. I love how she’s SUCH a girl. She is all about me getting her makeup on and patiently lets me do her hair. It’s the only time I can comb and brush and pull out tangles and she doesn’t complain. I love the shocking difference…
Read More +Why we're going armless at the dance recital
I’ve been really impressed with Jordan’s use of her helper arm at dance class lately. It’s especially useful during the ballet half of her class. But after watching Jordan rehearse for the winter recital… I’m pretty sure we’re going to go arm free. She spent most of the dance repositioning the arm and missing steps.…

Dance. It’s been in Jordan’s world for a long time. She started dancing at her first pre-school. We realized she really liked it during a school performance of The Nutcracker when she was 22 months old. She loved the stage. So she started taking dance classes when she was two and a half years old.…

Miss Jordan performed in her dance studio’s holiday recital and it was stinking sweet. The funniest part was how she stretched out one of the straps while she was waiting to perform, so she was VERY exposed. But that didn’t stop her from being very cute. Enjoy the video!! If you can’t see it, enjoy…
Read More +Dance class success
Using Jordan’s helper arm at dance was a huge success… You can see in this blurry picture that she’s still reaching a bit to touch “hands” but her balance was so much better when she wore “bouncy hand” to her class. She also had no problem walking across the balance beam with it one. Last…
Read More +A dancing challenge
Jordan loves to dance – and this year she’s taking a dance class that has a couple of performances in the year. It’s certainly a bit more intense from the sweet and calm version she took last year. So her dance teacher and I (who also happens to be a co-worker/friend) are trying to decide…
Read More +Some video moments of Jordan
She loves to dance. She can’t seem to stop dancing. It’s SO funny. Here’s a moment when we were hanging out at the columns on campus. Here’s a moment as we walked home tonight after running around and playing outside. OH! And here’s an awesome moment last Friday when we took the kids to the…
Read More +Growing up… An end of an era
I know this sounds cheesy… But Jordan wrapped up her little dance class for the school year and I’m feeling a little nostalgic about it all. It was a small class that met on Thursday mornings since last September. She’s had a chance to learn the basics of dance, improve her balance and overall jumping…

Yeah… We had another big dance performance for Jordan. It isn’t the Nutcracker (since we’re at a new school now) but it was a great experience anyway. Jordan did a wonderful job and I have to share the video for you to see: Jordan Dancing in her Recital from NerdyMom on Vimeo.
Read More +35 Months Old!
Can you believe Jordan is only a month away from turning 3? It’s mind boggling. In the last month she has turned even more into a strong, opinionated and highly verbal little girl. She is super proud of her new prosthetic. She didn’t wear it much this week after we discovered a skin breakout that…
