ballerinas

Fall session of dancing school has started. What the heck? Where did the flippin' summer go? That really didn't feel like much of a break! Anyway, both girls are in dancing class -- the same class. It's for kiddos ages 3- 5. I was a bit worried because they are now in the same class at school, the same dance class and will be in the same swimming class starting next month. Their only break will be gymnastics class -- although they are in different classes they will be in the same gym at the same time. Wonder how well that will work out? 

Back to dance class....given Gwyneth's propensity for soccer, I wasn't quite sure dancing school was going to be her forte. I should learn to never, ever underestimate Gwyneth. She loves dancing school and caught on so quickly. She was doing her plies, releves, and twirls right along with the rest of the girls with a big ol' Gwyneth smile on her face! She's a natural.

It's always funny when other parent's ask me "which daughter is your's?" at these kind of things. I respond the "little blonde and the little brunette - the ones tied at the hip". I always have to giggle a little when they respond (and they always do...) with "oh my, are they twins? no, they must be really close in age. wow - you must have your hands full. Well, at least they're really good friends. I hope that last through their teens years." And then usually a "They are so different. They don't look at all alike!" just for good measure.  It's always some variation of that and it always entertains me!

Here's to another year of ballet and tap classes and the absolutely adorable recital to come. How sweet are these girls going to be in their dance costumes? I can hardly wait for the tutu's!
