DANCE!

We decided to sign Myah up for dance classes this year at Caledonia Dance Center (which came highly recommended). We went back and forth since she is SO tiny but because she isn't doing any type of school yet we thought it would be fun to have her be in something to look forward to with other kids. I took dance forever so we thought that would be a great place to start since I loved it so much I thought she would too. We went back and forth on the class to sign her up in. The age starts at 2 1/2 so we were going to have her be in the 2.5 and 3 year old beginners class on Tuesday mornings. However, it was already full and there were already a couple girls on the waiting list so the chances of getting into that class were slim. So...there was another one for that age bracket but this class was held on Thursday mornings (no good since I work). So...we ended up signing her up for the 3 - 4 year old class held on Tuesday evenings. The deadline to turn 3 was September 1st (phew) which we made by a day! So not only is she the littest one in the class she is also the youngest one. I was a little worried that she wouldn't want to participate and would be a little hesitate to even go in by herself.

Boy was I wrong!! The first week which was September 15 she walked right into the class room and sat down. She was a little unsure of some of the things they did but then her teacher would hold her hand and she would do it. This past Tuesday was a complete 180 she was in there shaking her little booty like you wouldn't believe it. She was the first in line to do tumbling (somersaults) and just took charge. Even her teacher made a comment to be afterwards. :) She LOVES it and can't wait to go back each week. I have a hard time keeping her out of her leotard. :)
Seriously though...how cute does she look?

Unfortunately I couldn't take any pictures of her in her actual class since they only allow us to watch them on a TV screen (which I guess is better or else she would be showing off the whole time). I did video tape a little bit of the TV so that Mike could see since he had softball but it didn't turn out very well.
These few pictures are of her before class her first week. They have a dress code and have to wear a pink leotard, pink tights and they have the pink shoes that they like them to buy at the dance center so that they will all match come recital time. So this is leotard #1 out of 3.

Look for leotard #3 for next week. :)
