Today, Adyson was so excited when she woke up because yesterday we went to the dance store and bought her new ballet slippers, leotards and tights so she could start her first ballet class today. She waited in her ballet outfit all ready at home on the couch for 45 minutes before we could leave.
She is not 3 yet so she can't officially start any pre-ballet or beginner ballet classes so the studio offers a class for 2 1/2 year olds to take called Fairy Tale Ballet. Fairy Tale Ballet is such a great idea to introduce the girls to dance. They get there and they have princess pictures to color until the whole class arrives, then once everyone has arrived they all gather around the teacher and each week she tells them a fairy tale out of a book, today was "Wizard of Oz" then they dress up in the costumes that go with the story and have class in the costumes. I figured they would just turn on music and let the kids dance but it was more structured which is GREAT! They do stretching with songs first, then they do turns and positions while they try and stay inside the hula hoop, then across the floor work like kicks and leaps. The teacher has fun with them but requires them to listen and follow directions. Ady loved it!!!
I am so proud of my little ballerina! Max and I watched her entire class, Max thought all the dancers were babes, he kept smiling and babbling at them.

I love it! Go Ady the ballerina! Can't wait to put Emma in Ballet. Love all your posts, and your new house! You go girl!
Isn't having little girls in ballet outfits a blast! My little girls wear theirs on dance days AND any other day as well. I am just getting ready to sign Emma and Gracie up for Childrens Dance Theatre classes at the "U" (Virginia Tanner Dance Studio). They are going to eat it up and its such an incredible program. You'll have to come to one of their recitals!
Can't wait to see you guys in person and live closer to the little cousins!
My girl ady better have gotten her dance skills from Hailey not me. She loves it! I cannot wait to come watch. This is something that will actually pull me out of the office for sure!
She looks so cute in those first two pictures just anxiously waiting. That looks like a fun class, I wonder if they have something like that by me.
I second the motion that Ady hopefully gets her dance "moves" from her mother. Unfortunately Eric's moves would be ....well, like his Dad's...not too great!!!
That is SO cute! I'd love to bring Easton to watch someday, except he'd want to be right out there with the girls in their dresses!
Looks like so much fun! I really hope they have something like that in Chicago so I can take my little girl. So cute...keep taking pictures! Ady is going to be a super dancer just like her mom.

I'm loving this post! she is so adorable! I can't believe how cute she is standing in the hula hoop concentrating so hard! I better have a girl! That looks so fun to do with her:) Let's get together soon since Friday didn't turn out (I wasn't feeling good that day either)!

Cute pics! She is getting so big! Ry has been taking dance for 2 years now and loves it too! Too bad we dont live close and we could do it together! The booster seat is at least 30 lbs and I forget the height. Somewhere between 30- 40 inches. I know thats a wide range but I forget!
