Dance Dance Fever

The other thing Avery has been pestering me to do since forever is dance class. I finally relented (I mean, have you seen Black Swan? Jeesh.) and that started this month as well. They will be doing ballet and tap, with some other stuff thrown in for good measure. After we went shopping for her ballet getup, every single day she would come down from her afternoon quiet time wearing it, having fished it out of the dirty laundry. Again. It's been three weeks now, and she still asks me almost every morning if today is dance class day.

Practicing her twirls before heading to the first class.

Parents aren't allowed in class, so we can only peek through the door...

Konked out from all the excitement that was the first day.

When we arrived for the second class, we were excited to find that Avery's friend Maddie from school had joined. When class began, Maddie was feeling a little anxious and sad to be by herself in the class. When she started to cry, Avery walked over and held her hand. Absolutely melted me heart.
