Cecelia's BEST friend Lana invited her to "invite your friend to dance" day. Through an amazing blessing of hand-me-down clothing, we actually own a number of dance outfits. So we dressed her up and got her ready for her first taste of dance classes. The smile on her face and pose (all PRE class) gives you a clue as to how excited she was about this. She HAS been asking about taking classes, and due to my laziness, have not signed her up yet. (that and the cost is nothing to sneeze at!)
She went and got a taste of ballet, jazz and tap. According to the other moms that were there watching their girls, Cecelia was very good for her first time ever, and was GREAT at the leaps they did. Since I only took one season of tap and ballet when I was her age, and did NOT keep up with it, soccer being my passion, I am what they call CLUELESS to dance. I have always been a bit leary since dance seems to be a partner to eating disorders, and this studio can get VERY competitive and serious about what they do. I don't know. (Brendan was very proud of her and thought she "looked beautiful"....he is the BEST big brother!)
She says she likes dance better than soccer. This would be something that she could do that has nothing to do with her brothers, it would be something that is ALL hers. I guess I am taking it one day at a time. I am thinking this might just be a good birthday present for her once soccer season is over. (we have a ONE extra curricular at a time rule). Either way she is ONLY 5 soon to be 6. No major career choices need to be decided at this moment. We can have a taste of it all with no recourse. In the meantime, she can just enjoy and play like every 6 year old should, with no pressure.
