I have a little girl... She loves all the girly things... I play them with her and try to enjoy them... Princess, Dolls, Polly Pockets, Dress up, fingernails... etc...

So I signed her up for dance class... I am a little nervous. I hope she has some rhythm from her dad because there is not much coming from me.

Here is my memory of ballet... I think I was a pre-schooler and my mom put me in a ballet class. I remember being very stiff... my teacher would push on my back and say "Just try... I know you can touch your toes." Well... I couldn't and I still can't. Our performance was the 3 little pigs. Just to give you an idea of how good I was at ballet... I was the wolf who ran and chased the dancing, twirling little pigs... Like I said... I hope Iree got some of those genes from her dad!!!

Iree looks so cute in her dance outfit. She is such a girly girl like Abby. I bet she'll have tons of fun in dance!

Jen,
Signing Iree up for dance is one of the best things you could have done. Children have a tendency of believing in the things that can be done, rather than focusing on shortcomings. My oldest daughter Karen started dance at age 3 and continued til 18, then danced in college and now instructs ballroom dance. She met her husband dancing and to this day is happiest during dance. Good job. Love Uncle Randy
