Little Miss Lexi Lynn went to her very first dance class tonight. She was busting at the seams with excitement, me not so much. I do not know why, but when my kids are going to something for the first time, or I do not know how something is going to turn out, my stomach gets in knots and I feel sick as if I was the one trying something new. It turns out that this time I was nervous for nothing, Lexi did wonderful!
We started out her big day with getting fitted for ballet shoes, picking out a ballet outfit, and then going home and convincing her to wait two hours before she could go to her class. This part was not fun! Lexi would not stop screaming " Me go to dance cass all by meself!!" over and over and over. I was about to lose it! I was never so happy to see that it was 4:30 in the afternoon! We got her dressed in her new outfit (she was only excited about the tights) and I went to put her tennis shoes on her because it was pouring down rain outside, but no, she HAD to wear those new ballet shoes. So this meant that I had to carry all 42 pounds of her to the car, and then over a block from the car to the dance studio. Needless to say my back was killing me, and I just knew that she would not go into the class by herself.
Turns out I was wrong again! Don't you love how kids do things just to prove their parents wrong and make liars out of them! I know I do! (haha) So anyway we were a little early, but Lexi didn't care. She played with the other girls in her class like she has known them for years, and when the teacher came out to get them she went right in without looking back! This was great for me, but Bianka was not too happy about it. I had told Bianka that if her sister wouldn't dance by herself that she could go in and help her. About five minutes of the class went by and Lexi was doing fine, but Bianka thought that she could use a hand. Bink waltzed right into the class and danced right along with her sister. I am so glad that they have an understanding dance teacher!
Lexi decided that her favorite part of class was playing "Ring Around the Rosy" with the "Beanbag" song a close second. When her class was over she didn't want to leave, I think that I may have another dancer on my hands! Someone, please HELP! (haha) I do not know what I am going to do come June when we have to do the recital. I am already nervous about it! Having one child in one dance was stressful, but now Bianka is going to be in three dances and Lexi will be in one! I think that I may have a nervous breakdown! Well maybe I wouldn't go that far, but I may need a LARGE margarita after recital weekend!
