To preface this post: Last August we decided that Addie was maybe, just maybe ready for dance classes. She was ready, we took her to a studio here in town and she cried and screamed and hated every, single second of it. The teacher suggest we maybe wait... I left in tears....it was not a great day!
Somehow I again got the urge for Addie to dance (though sometimes I think she'd rather play soccer and ride horses and forget the whole girly dance thing) BUT I signed her up and we went out and bought shoes and tights and leotards! She WAS ready! She wore her shoes everywhere the last few days...
Today the day came... she got herself dressed, admired herself and was ready to go! Fingers crossed this time would be better. The "studio" had a mirror and Addie was off! She stared at herself , twirled, smiled and had the world at her fingertips! We had to watch through a tiny window, but I'd say for a good 10% of the time Addie did exactly what she was supposed to do. The rest of the time..... WELL, she was not screaming! As a matter of fact, she was SMILING :) So, all in all a successful first day!
Love this :-) dancing queen!
