Love milk….

all of ours have crossed over fairly easily to cow's milk at the age of one. Maisie had a mild, localised reaction to cow's milk on her face but now drinks it twice a day. Although not on cereal, both our girls have breakfast cereal without milk. Even weetabix!! which must be like eating straw…

but so Matilda has dropped into a happy routine of having a bottle of milk in the afternoon….my POTD from yesterday.

baby ballet

I think i mentioned that Poppy tried ballet when she was just over three and the novelty of being able to go to ballet with her big sister wore off reeeeallly quick when she had a few lessons with Maisie's teacher who is lovely but very classically trained and so i think is maybe a bit intimidating for Poppy. 

Anyway since seeing Maisie's show she has asked a couple of times about going again. Which im a bit reluctant to go for just yet as its expensive and you have to have the outfits..yada yada…apparently after horse riding, ballet and dance is the most expensive hobby!

So i was very happy to find out about a free baby ballet class being run by the local council. I went along with Poppy on thursday and snuck in a few pics. She enjoyed it, she was with some of her best buds from pre-school and the bonus was she got to wear her sisters ballet gear and so no additional 'outift' expense. brilliant. 

although then the lady told us that they only had funding for the next two weeks and then would probably have to end the class..
🙁

back to the drawing board…

walking home from football training, so cold but the sun was so bright. The little tiny oblong shaped cloud was almost glowing from the rays of the sun. It looked gold.
