April 8th. See Tatiana after visit to Gram and Grandpa

Tatiana got back yesterday afternoon from visiting Gram and Grandpa.  She has tumbling at 4 pm and dance at 6 pm.  Scotland took Tatiana to the park by the library and asked me to get her at 5:45 pm for ballet.  When I pulled into the parking lot near the park I saw her running, but she was running away.  She looked so adorable and having fun that I decided to park at the dance studio and walk over.  It turns out that she was running TO me, but she was running around the creek.  She'd been crushed when I drove away.  When I walked up, she ran straight to me with her arms out.  It was really wonderful.  Then we walked to the studio and played until the dance class started.  She is the belle of the play floor at the dance studio.  I think it is that she has such joy in her play.  I mentioned that to Scotland.  He said he saw the same thing.  The tumbling girls are all much older than her.  He could tell that they really really wanted to play with Tatiana but that they thought they were too old.  Which is sad since I think the oldest is 8.  The dance class had 3 kids sign up just this last week, and one was trying it out.  So, the class is big now.  She is so cute in the dance class.

Then we got home and she wanted to play with JJ.  So, I walked over and watched them play.  Then we came home and just had time to eat and then bedtime.  I think back to her running to me with her arms open.
