An Introduction to Dance
Adelaide has decided that after becoming a Dentist, a Baker, a Doctor, and a Mama that she would like to be a Ballerina. So, we enrolled her in a little Trial-for-3-Year-Olds dance class at our local community center and had our first class this evening.
After donning our leotard, tights, and slippers, there was but a brief moment of hesitancy ...

followed by complete, whirling-dervish joy.

A moment not to forget: During the class's spinning, leaping and cavorting, the instructor's iPod seemed to accidently skip from Tchaikovsky to Beyonce, blasting her pop hit Single Ladies. Adelaide is familiar with this family favorite from our favorite episode of Glee, and breaking from the dancing, ran screaming over to me, "WE KNOW THIS ONE!"

Adelaide! You look beautiful in your dance outfit, and the perfect color for you, too.

Very great idea! Dance is amazing and I was exactly her age when I started and I'm in my 13th year, it certainly grows on you.

I had to double take - I thought my hubby was confessing his secret life as a ballerina above. ;) Megan also started balled this year and loving it. I just love how cute little girls are in leotards.

"All the single ladies! All the single ladies!" We've danced to that song 4 times in the past two days here. Owen loves it too! (Then I pulled up the clip from Glee just for a good laugh.)
