A Somewhat Girlie Day

Today, Christopher was surrounded by girls... lots and lots of girls...

In the morning, the Kansas City Ballet was having what they call "Free Dance Day" at their rehearsal studio downtown called the Bolender Center. There were classes and performances throughout the day for people of all ages. We decided to check it out the creative movement class that was for 3 to 5 year olds. While it was probably a little young for Chris, he still enjoyed it nonetheless (except for when they played "Hakuna Matata" but that's a whole other story!). He was just happy to be in an actual dance studio that the KC Ballet uses to practice! Here he is at the barre and enjoying the class...

He even wanted to take his picture with an actual ballerina...

Later in the day, Christopher helped his dear friend Olivia celebrate her 5th birthday. It was a Little Mermaid pool party, and look at who showed up at the party!

Chris joined the girls for some mermaid fun...

Most importantly, though, Chris helped Olivia celebrate her special day. I love watching these two play together and grow up together!

And of course who could resist little brother Elliot's adorable smile!

Now, you might be wondering if there was just too much girlie stuff going on for Chris today. While he is up for almost everything, he did need to take a moment in between ballet and mermaids to assume the persona of Darth Vader.

Well, the costume was as close as we could get!
