Ballet Princess!

Elsie Anne has been REALLY enjoying her ballet school, as we like to call it!  It's been a month since we started + each time we go, she remembers more of what we do + wants less + less to do w/ me.  At first, this was a little upsetting, but then I realized independence + determination are great traits for her to have!  And since she has to be w/ me 24/7, she is showing me that this is her class, and her time to shine w/out the help of Momma:)
Today, we brought Adeline, + Daddy was able to come as well!  They had a ball wearing hats, shaking bells, swinging scarves, climbing through the tunnel + shaking their booties to some funny kids tunes!  Shawn got such a kick out of the girls + many compliments from the Mothers that he's so good w/ children:)
Adeline loved the hat!  She'd put it on, take it off, over + over!
The girls are doing the hand motions to the Tiny Turtle song!  Since EA won't sit w/ me, I always encourage her to sit/look/listen to her teacher, Ms.Kristin!  So far, this is really working, she feels like such a big girl + Ms.Kristin couldn't get enough:)  You can see Ms.Kristin's fingertips, so you know EA is following directions, heehee!
And this is how EA looks @ the end of every class...exhausted!!!
I'm so happy to be involved in a fun activity for EA.  Its rewarding to watch our baby girl flourish in new surroundings, w/ new friends + grown-ups!
