Our Little Dancer

There is a really sweet lady here who teaches dance classes for $15 a month. She accepts kids 4 years and up. So Brian and I decided that we could afford to put Brooklyn in dance classes. She loves everything ballarina and princess. As we all know, princesses dance, so she wants to learn how to dance. She is learning how to curtsy, point her toes, and strengthen muscles that you need to be graceful. You can walk into a room at any given moment and Brooklyn will be showing Kaden how to dance and be "gracie" or graceful. The other day Kaden came running into the room with a pair of Brooklyns tights, leotards, and tutu on. Oh my . . . . Brian was home and he was NOT happy. Brooklyn was so proud of herself, getting tights onto a two year old boy is not an easy thing to do. Of course Grandma Karen had to grab her camera and take some pictures of him. We tried to stop her, but we were too late. Sorry Kaden. I will see if Karen will let me have one to show you all. Just please promise you won't hold it against Kaden when he is older. Poor kid.
It is becoming quite a fight everyday to keep Brooklyn from wearing her "ballerina clothes". It is still really cold here with lots of snow and ice on the ground. Tights and leotards are just not warm enough, but explaining that to Brooklyn isn't easy. We let her wear them as much as is appropriate, but she is a very determined and persistent little girl. We have to allow time before we go anywhere for Brooklyn to put real clothes on. Hee hee. She is such a girl! Right now she is trying to grow her hair out so that we can put it up in a "ballerina ponytail" for dance lessons.
