Dance Class

Here are a few photo's from Emma's first dance class. She did not want me to take pictures of her ahead of time so the below is as good as it gets. We got there early and waited inside the room. We were then told we had to wait outside while her teacher prepared the room and then that we couldn't come in as she taught the class without parents. What?!?! My dreams of sitting in a folding chair and watching my little girl spin around the room wasn't going to happen today? John had even come home early from work to go to the class. Then we went around the corner and discovered the glass window. Phew!!

After watching the three and four year olds learn to "dance" I can definitely understand why parents are not in the room. And having Johnny strapped into his stroller for 45 minutes while we watch Emma through the glass makes me thankful we are where we can not be heard.

During Emma's whole first class her face was lit up in wonder. I wish I could have gotten a good picture of it. She was so excited to be in the class and listened well. She is definitely the youngest and this is the first time she has been in a class where she has had to stand in line and listen to directions. The teacher is great and keeps their attention the whole 45 minutes. Now if I could only get a good picture.......

So fun! Veronica at dance class is the child who dances to the beat of her own drum--it's quite hilarious. I'm glad Emma gets to partake in the leotard/tutu wearing ritual:)

I so remember taking Mollie and Kirsten to dance when they were 3 and 4. I was in the hallway with my nephew who was an infant. Seems like yesterday...Tell Emma it's mommy's job to take pictures :) Very important job for Emma to pose :) Enjoy - before you know it she'll be 21.
