This past week Haley started ballet. She was SO excited, but also terrified. We toured the studio, met the teacher, and bought her shoes and leotard which she proceeded to wear for the next 3 days straight. On the day of her first class she had several meltdowns about random things, and I knew it was because she was nervous about ballet. However, the excitement won out and once we were there, she gave me several big hugs, said "bye, Mom!" and followed the other girls in. Afterward she kept saying "It was SO fun, Mom!" and her teacher said she couldn't believe it was her first class ever because she'd done so well. I replied that in reality Haley's been dancing for years - in the living room to Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses and Barbie in Swan Lake. Thanks, Barbie! Now if we can only convince her to dance in the recital in May...
