Tootie's first dance class






Last night, I had a little scare. Eric had called me at 5 at told me he was on his way to pick up J from aftercare at school. It usually only take him 20-25 minutes to get there. The school called at 6:02 pm and said that Jackson was still there and no one had come to pick him up. They had tried to call Eric's cell phone but he didn't answer. He didn't answer any of my calls or texts so I called Staci, who only lives 5 minutes from the school and she headed to pick up J. Come to find out, Eric had car trouble and was working on his car on the side of the interstate and left his cell in the car while he worked on it and lost track of how long it took him. Anyway, I felt so useless being that far away and not being able to get to J and wondering what happened to Eric. After all that, Eric and J were willing to pick up Tootie a leotard for her first dance class. Eric came home with 5 leotards! He said he wasn't going to mess up her first leotard so he just bought one of each! LOL! So cute.

She was beyond excited. She wore one to bed last night and tried on 3 this morning before she made her final decision on which one to wear this morning. She couldn't wait to get there. She bounced right in and told everyone her name was Tootie so now that is what her instructors and little girls call her too. That name is going to stick thru College!! I suppose it will be easier to spell! LOL!

She did so well. She did all of her tap moves. She listened very well. They do tap and jazz first and then ballet the last part of class. She wasn't too kean on ballet. 10 minutes before class ended she came running out and said "I done...dance class over". I couldn't get her to go back in until she got to go back in and get her sticker. It was funny! She got to watch the senior chearleaders throwing practice and was intrigued with that and thought she would like to go in and "play with them". She got to get measured for her blue tutu for her recital on April 25th. That should be really cute!
