Tiny Dancers

This week, my girls (and I, by default) took on a new adventure: dance class! Monday night, we went out to purchase their clothing. The excitement level was WAY over the top and the girls could hardly contain themselves. I don't know how many times I had to ask one or the other to please just walk, instead of hopping, jumping, twisting, and/or shouting, so they wouldn't yank my arm off or run into someone. When Whitney realized that her class was the next day, she cried. We had to convince her it really was going to happen. Kallie also ended the evening in disappointment, as she had to wait until Wednesday for her turn. (Once we explained it was only 2 sleeps, she managed to build up her excitement again.)

The morning of each of their classes, they woke up early and then begged to put on their "ballet outfits." Being the mean mom that I am, I made them wait until right before we were leaving to put them on. After a few pics, we headed out the door.

The classes could not have gone better! Well, maybe Whitney's could have. A couple of younger girls were nervous being away from their mom, so they cried, which was a bit upsetting to all of the kids. But, Whitney loved it and can't wait to go again! Kallie also cannot wait for Wednesday to roll around. She got to pretend that her teacher was Little Red Riding Hood and skip around the room with her. (The girls were playing LRRH's friends.)

I am really looking forward to watching these little ones learn and grow through theses classes. I have wonderful memories of dance class when I was little and I can't wait for my daughters to have dance memories of their own!
