There are only 3 returning girls, and they are the class leaders. We've enrolled DeBoy this year (don't you know THAT has gone over well in this area), and she takes very good care of him. I saved her first shoes and I'll save his, but after this I'm selling them! Two pairs of ballet shoes and a pair of tap shoes cost me $61. And I suspect that is fairly cheap. But if he continues, he'll need actual tap shoes too. However, it's an hour a week that I can sit and have adult conversation and do my sewing.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02190489990653412687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271931822987740572.post-20886166773392498582008-10-07T21:52:00.000-07:002008-10-07T21:52:00.000-07:00How was it?

Our days of ballet (called Creative Movement at our daughters' studio...) are long gone, but they, too, were sweet and lovely. I kept thinking that I would run errands during the lessons, but I always found myself glued to the two-way glass, watching my little munchkin enjoying herself, dipping down and smelling the flowers (as instructed by the teacher!).<BR/><BR/>It was such a cute scene, and I know I sound like the chick with the rose-colored glasses, but it's hard to believe that my girls are now 14 and 17!

What a great moment, not just the first day of class but the preparations before it, shared with her loving mom who gets the importance of these things. You totally nailed the list making draw (for me at least). It's the feeling of accomplishment, and being in control of something. Can't wait to hear how she liked it!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13164420416881517854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271931822987740572.post-8075112199208457362008-10-03T09:01:00.000-07:002008-10-03T09:01:00.000-07:00how sweet.i remember my daughter's first dance cla...how sweet.<BR/><BR/>i remember my daughter's first dance class...it was there too that I noticed her being "older" just more at ease with herself, outgoing even and that was SO NOT like her.

There was nothing I enjoyed more than sitting at the edge of the studio, watching her watch herself dancing in the mirror. A fancy outfit and a big room full of mirrors is all a four-year-old girl really needs. Then, alas, she announced she wanted to do gymnastics instead. Sigh. Enjoy.
