Ballet

When Addie very first started her ballet classes back in June, needless to say it was chaotic. And by chaotic I mean 10 little brand new 2 year olds screaming for dear life and clinging to their mamas legs for all they were worth as sweet Ms. Lori pulled them off one by one and placed them all, still screaming, in the studio with her. It was, perhaps, one of the most hilarious and heartbreaking things to watch. They would generally calm down after a few minutes and then get into the class, and it only lasted a few weeks before they were fine to go on in.
Now, I literally have to hide Addie's "Dancin' Clothes" as she calls them, from her until it's time to walk out the door. The girl LOVES it. And I love that she loves it! I can NOT say enough good things about Children's Dance Foundation! Ms. Lori is absolutely so sweet and patient with these crazy 2 year olds, and they just adore her. They also have a fabulous piano player (Mr. Steve) who is so nice and patient as well! This last week they got fitted for their Spring Recital Outfits. I can not wait to see the cuteness... (on another note, the 2 year olds don't perform at the BIG Spring Recital. They found they got too freaked out, so they have a special performance in one of the studios for Parents/Friends/Family, etc...smart idea, really...) (disclaimer...these pictures are being shot through a 2 way mirror, so the quality is not great...)

Love my little ballerina!
