Ballet!

The girls finally started ballet classes and for Ellie tap is added in. So, after picking up Ellie from school we rushed home to change into tights and leotards. We only have about 15 mins from the time school is out and the time we have to leave for Sioux Center. The girls were so excited, almost too excited to even get dressed correctly. We loaded the new shoes in a bag and loaded poor Nolan in the car ( he will either hate this or just sleep the entire time we do the ballet runs). Ellie's class was first, much to Chloe's dismay, so she had her bag with ballet slippers and tap shoes. I couldn't see what she was doing but it sounds like she had a great time. Chloe and I and Nolan went to the park while Ellie was in class, then at 5 went pack to pick up Ellie. We rushed to get some supper, which we won't be doing again cause there just isn't enough time. Then it was Chloe's turn. She was so excited and shy at the same time, but she went right into the room and came back out at the end of class with a big smile on her face. In the car she was telling me everything they did and wouldn't stop talking for at least 5 mins straight. I'm glad they are enjoying this. I know when I was in ballet I didn't exactly like it. My mom thought ballet would help me with my coordination issues... some might say it didn't help at all and others would ask what issues. Well, when I was young I would fall and run into things at whim. There was no rhyme or reason for my accidents, just bad coordination. So ballet was the answer to those issues I guess much to my dismay. I still like to fall on the floor but its usually when I'm in a sport such as volleyball. My girls seem to fall and run into things like I did so my mom and I thought ballet might help them out. Time will tell. For now they just get to have fun and look adorable in their little leotards!!
