I have always said that I will let my children choose their own interests, and not push my own on them. Since they are only 3 and 4, the line between mine and theirs is somewhat blurred.... and I just started them in ballet classes. Today was their first class. It was pretty surreal sitting there and watching them. It doesn't seem that long ago that I was the one wearing the dancing shoes with my mom waiting in the wings. (Here come the tears!) The girls loved it, and kept looking at me and would shout "This is fun, mommy!". About half way through the class I couldn't hold the tears in anymore, and I indulged myself in a proud mommy cry!
So while they are free to choose whichever path they like as they get older, it was still exciting to hear their teacher (who was fabulous, by the way!) say things like "Magdalen has such a perfect arch", and "Bronwyn's leg are so long and pretty". For this summer at least, we will be dreaming of toe shoes and tutus!And no post is complete without an update of Baby Ty. Here he is laughing with daddy.
More than wonderful love Uma and Auntie Haley

ReplyDeleteThat is so fun! I'm a big fan of girls taking at least one dance class just to see how they like it. Though Jill has started tumbling, so when we staying with Clint's folks; I spent a lot of time doing hand stands and cartwheels with Jill.
