Little Dancer

Matisyn has been talking about dance class ever since she took classes last summer. It was honestly pretty disastrous because she wouldn't listen, wait her turn, etc. She thought it was great, but I was stressed the whole time because I didn't want her to take away from the other kids' time. I figured we needed to have a break, and a little more time to grow up . . . even though she was very cute and pretty hilarious to watch! So we had our first winter dance class last Tuesday. Everyday she kept saying she was ready to go to dance class, and finally the day came. I told her that after her nap this afternoon we could get ready and go. About an hour later (10:00 am, dance being at 4:00), she was so excited, that a girl that normally refuses naps right now, brought in two books that she had chosen and said, "Ok mommy, I picked my books. Let's read so I can take my nap and go to dance class!" She was very ready! Although she is still quite a bit younger than the other girls, she has grown up a lot in the last few months and seemed to do much better. I left her there this time, and her teachers said she would wander a bit, but that she listened really well to them and followed directions. I'm crossing my fingers that it lasts because I really don't want to have to take away her precious dance class!

Right here she decided to join the teachers to show the older girls how it is done!
