Ballet begins...

It's ballet season!
Last night was the first class of the season and Corinn's first class ever!!! She has been counting down for months, and has been telling everyone "I'm going to start dance class!". She did great and was super excited about finally getting her own professional ballet slippers!

Gabrielle started her 2nd year and now she's in the pre-ballet II class (Corinn is in pre-ballet I). She was excited about the fact that they get to start doing bar work in pre-ballet II.

The only issue we had last night was when the pre-tap class lined up to go upstairs for class. I simply can't afford to have the girls take more than one class, so Gabby had to choose between ballet & tap. Well, when she saw some of her friends taking both classes and all of them lined up in their pretty little tap shoes, getting to go upstairs for class (ballet classes are downstairs).....Gabrielle all of a sudden changed her mind! We talked through it, but she was still a little upset the rest of the night.

Now I have this hard mommy decision to make....stick to my guns and make Gabby stick to her decision? Consider letting her switch (even though the dance studio really wants the girls to take ballet in addition to any other classes they'd like - the director would let her switch if we decided to)? Hit Nana & Grandpa up for some tap class sponsoring? Hmmmm....decisions, decisions!

Here's the girls on our way to class...


And here's Corinn with her new ballet slippers on...
