We did it. We finally gave in to Emmy's numerous daily requests and signed her up for ballet class. Yes, she's 2 and yes I do realize that they do more running around at this age than actual ballet but she is in love. For months now she has begged to take ballet. I think I have Little Einsteins to thank for that one. I tried to appease her by teaching her myself and creating a little dance class at home. That lasted all of once maybe. "I neeeeeed to GO to class Mom."
I thought I was out of luck for another year until she turned 3 because almost all the dance studios around here don't teach until 3 (smart people - who in their right minds wants to teach a bunch of 2 year olds ballet???) Well I found one studio that is very crazy, err...I mean willing. We signed her up today and she starts in September. We purchased all of her gear. She of course had to pick out the fanciest leotard because it had a "twirly" (skirt) and flowers. Have you ever tried putting on dance tights on a wiggly 2 year old....almost the most fun I've had all week. :)
She has spent the last hour going around telling the cats, every stuffed animal and most inanimate objects around the house "See my ballet shoes?"
This could be a very long month.....

Oh that is so cute! She is going to be such a darling little dancer.
Em looks adorable in her costume. She will be in her element at ballet class! I can't wait until Cai is old enough too.
She will have a blast!
She is the cutest ballerina...ever!! I bet she'll have a ton of fun!
That's the cutest! Love her ballet slippies! I'm still surprised how much a difference six months makes. Kylie says a bunch of words, but I've only caught her a handful of times stringing them together in sentences. Kylie love to dance too!
She does look pretty cute!
I'm so glad you were able to find a class, she is going to love it! Shannon can't wait for her class to start up again in the fall. Maybe next time we get together they can have a little recital for each other :)
I think its a great time to start little ones in activities. My daughter started dance at 18 months and has been in gymnastics for over a year. She loves it!!!
