Tiny Dancer

I recently enrolled Lucy in a ballet/tap class through the Community Center by our house, and they held the first class last Monday. I had actually enrolled her a few months ago, but when it came time for the class it turned out the location was actually not the one by our house, but one close to the strip-- and coming from someone who lived for 4 years in Philly, it was SCARY. I pulled up to the parking lot and the only spot available was in front of a dumpster with a bum rifling through it with lots of signs posted "DO NOT PARK HERE AFTER DARK".... So, I cancelled that and we're happy the next session has finally started!

Naturally she loves the dressing up part in the leotard and tutus, and has made lots of little friends in her class.


She is taking the class with her friend Julia (who's in our ward), which has helped her be braver since the parents aren't allowed to go in the room and sit. We have to just watch through the windows outside. In fact, at yesterday's class Zach gagged on an apple peel I'd given him and puked up the entire contents of his stomach all over me, so not only were parents treated to a show from their little girls, they also got to see a Cardon Specialty Sideshow. My kids are the world's BEST pukers!!

And as a side note, we got SNOW last week that actually (sort of) stuck to the ground for a little while (this is the view from our bedroom window). It was a full on snow storm that lasted a few hours and was pretty exciting for the kids. But I'll admit it, I'm glad we're back to the 50 and 60 degree weather again!
