Tonight was the first dance class for arianna. We are calling it ballet but technically it is called a dance class. They will learn dance steps including ballet steps. She was so excited that when she woke up this morning the first thing she said to me was "mommy, when we go to ballet you may have to carry me so I won't get my ballet shoes dirty!" smart girl! This is after I told her a few days ago that her ballet shoes cannot be worn outside.
Tonight on the way home from the babysitters she said to me. We won't eat dinner just go to ballet and then et afterwards. I am amazed at her thinking process. At class she mostly observed everyone. She stood around lifting her little tutu and just watching. The instructor would come over and take her hand to try to get her involved. David and I keep reminding each other that at this time we need to just tell her what a good job she did instead of criticize. Afterwards she was so talkative. She liked the butterfly step but neither David nor I could remember what that step looked like. There are 8 classes which end in May. Not sure if we will take swimming lessons next as when we walked out of the class she saw the pool and the kids swimming and she wanted to get her swim suit on!
We are planning an easter egg hunt this weekend. Hoping the weather will be nice.
Isaac is doing well and has been sleeping through the night more! Way to go cutie pie! I knew you could do it!
Ari is very observant, so I wouldn't be surprised if out of the blue she just starts doing the dance steps at home :)
