Party Girl

Lucy has been quite the party girl this spring.  As I was looking through all the photos, I kept thinking about the sense of wonder that is so evident in her face.  If you look for it, I think you will see it too....... 

If you look up "wonder" in the dictionary :  "to be filled with admiration, amazement or awe ."

I think they should put the above picture right next to the word in Websters.

The girls were so filled with wonder after seeing the surprise of the party :  Ms. Goldie, the clown.  

Face painting, balloon animals and spray art.......just a few of the wonder-ful things for the girls to enjoy. 

Next:  Lucy was beyond excited to attend a "Frozen" dance party.  Yes, it is true.  Is there really a more prefect idea for a birthday party right now? 

For anyone who has children, I would guess that you too, know every. single. word. of  the theme song "Let it Go."   

 
What did they do at this party? What else, but teach the girls Elsa's dance from the movie.

Below is the picture of the girls when "Elsa" first came into the studio.  Again:  wonder, amazement, awe, admiration... all there on their faces.  

Sophia is the birthday girl--the one in pink.  She had no idea that Elsa was coming

In case you have any doubts, these girls truly believed that this was Elsa.

They were very excited to show her her dance that they learned.

I talked to "Elsa."  She had attended prom the night before this Frozen dance party.  She also happens to take dance at this studio.  While at prom, everyone kept telling her she looked like Elsa....her dress, her hair.....When her dance instructor found out the connection, she asked if she would make a surprise "pop in" for the girls.   I told her she may have found a new way to fund her pending college career.

If you can get past the same question I had the entire time (do they clean their floors?), you may find it as rewarding as I did to watch these girls --filled with wonder-- dance their little hearts out.

 

I wonder what they are talking about...

Lucy is awe-struck....

Out last adventure:  A trip to BonnyBrook Farms for a field trip with her class.   Again--look for the wonder.

even here---when you can't see her face--you can feel it.

Children are such wonderful teachers.  After these recent events, I realize how rewarding it is to approach life with a sense of wonder.  I have a renewed motivation to be more like Lucy in this regard.
