“Little Miss Ballerina”

Here is Little Miss Ballerina being a cutie pie as she comes into dance class -- do you see that she has on a BLUE leotard, PINK tutu, and YELLOW sunglasses!! She was just too adorable! Oh yeah, she has on LAVENDAR shoes, with a pink ballerina purse and a Dolpin Water Bottle Buddie holder.

We have been having a bit of a struggle with J and dance class. She misses her SC teacher, Mrs. Heidi, and she constantly tells the teacher here Ms. Anna “that isn’t the way we do it in SC.” Or “Mrs. Heidi doesn’t do it that way.” She usually stands in the corner and cries. She says she is thinking. So our little thinker has realized that she can’t advance class to be in the same group with her friend from pre-school….so she is trying to prove that she can do everything from Pink 1 so she can go to Pink 2. Ms. Anna was happy with her performance last night. She was dancing and I was even allowed inside to video some ballet and some tap sections. Since M has two videos, I figured J needs two videos of class also. She was great. She almost started to cry and didn’t want to go in the class, but I gave her my watch which seems to be her security item lately. (All I can say is at least it isn’t something like a paci!! Also, I am very glad that it isn’t a nasty blankie that she has had for years.) She has broken my watch, twice now, so I think it is gone – but I am going to keep letting her use it for as long as she would like. She is getting so big and I hope that Mrs. Heidi would be proud of her in dance class!!

This blogging stuff is still new to me so I don't know how much of this is profound and how much of this is just letting extended family and friends watch my children grow up! Hope you enjoy the videos.
