Five on Friday

Happy Friday! I am linking up with April and the Ladies for another Five on Friday.
Cheers to the weekend!

One

I signed Sophia up for her first dance class - Jitterbugs. It is held at a community center and only had a few other children in the class so it is perfect for her. She was very slow to warm up, but she did well with trying out the poses and steps. We will be practicing at home this week and I can't wait to see how she does next week.

Sophia has been climbing on her crib recently. I have walked in and found her trying to get her legs up on the sides or straddling one of the rails. We almost converted her crib to a toddler bed and then realized there wasn't a bed rail as part of the conversion. The bed rail that matches the crib is ridiculously priced and shorter than I would like. We ordered a mesh rail and will be switching her to her big girl bed next week. I am terrified!

We had a family movie night and watched Frozen. Sophia and I enjoyed it. I loved watching her trying to make snow with her hands like Elsa. Dave enjoyed the parts he saw, but slept through the middle of the movie.

I am anxiously awaiting my new camera lens. It should arrive today and I can't wait to test it out!

Five

This is by far my favorite meal ever. Pork Carnitas over Cilantro Lime Rice topped with lots of yummy goodness. So good and even better the next day. The Chef was quite complimentary on the flavor.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

This was a great weekend - mostly nice weather, trips to the zoo, playground, Trader Joes, and family time. My favorite part of the weekend was when Sophia proved her mascot/character obsession is still thriving.
 

Saturday we visited a local bookstore - blue manatee - and Sophia listened to The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

I can't believe the caterpillar is celebrating 45 years!

After the story, the caterpillar came out to meet the children and pose for a few pictures.

Sophia colored a picture and then decided to become best friends with the caterpillar. Any time no children were near the caterpillar, Sophia was right there.

After all of the children had a turn, the caterpillar took a walk down the street. Sophia was a great escort and had a major meltdown when we had to leave.

Here are a few other pictures from our weekend.
