Strike a Pose!

A few months back Jacob asked if he was going to be taking swim lessons and I said, "Yes, in the summer." Olivia spoke up and said, "I'm taking ballet class in the summer. I'm going to be a ballerina!" This is something we've thought of doing but didn't have any plans on starting at only 2 1/2. We were thinking more like age 5! Anyhow, her passion to be a ballerina did not subside and she has mentioned it over and over as the weeks have gone on. We found a class at our local recreation center that starts at age 2 1/2 and is really inexpensive. We decided this is a good way to see if she likes it without spending a fortune. It is actually a beginning ballet and tap class so she gets to wear both kinds of "fancy shoes" and "be beautiful". Her first class was this Wednesday and she seemed to really like it so we'll see how it goes!

Here's Olivia waiting for her teacher to start class.

Showing off her new moves!

She looks like a beautiful ballerina! Some day we'll be trading tickets to see our children performing on stage! :)
