New Semester of Ballet at the Children's Ballet






Well Tootie started a new semester at the Children's Ballet, tonight. I really like the dance instructors who are retired ballerinas and they are very strict as to dress and hair. I love it; of course!! I love structured!!! They all have to wear a plain black leotard, pink tights, their ballet slippers, and their hair must be pulled back tight into a dancer's bun or braid. They all looked so serious and adorable. She LOVED it! She didn't mind giving up her tutu. She said that now she was in big girl class and has to wear a uniform to her school like Jackson does to his big school! So cute! They don't like for you to stay, simply because it is distracting; so the kids and I went and got groceries and let her stay there. She didn't seemed to mind and I asked her if she had to go potty, of course, she did. She said she did it all by herself, which she usually does but with a leotard, over tights, over underwear, with shoes on top, I wasn't sure if she could get it down and then all up again but she sure did!! And she pointed so well tonight. I was wondering what the black bow on one shoe and black triangle on the side of the other was for, but then I realized that 3 1/2 and 4 year olds don't know directions, such as right and left so they are taught to point with either the bow shoe (left) or triangle shoe (right)...BRILLIANT!! LOL! Anyway, we had a great evening together!!

Soph Bug says "Thank You" to everything, now! It is adorable.

And J read a "Lightning McQueen" level 1 reader to us tonight all by himself.
