tiny dancer.

ballerina, you must have seen her....

 

on our way to her first dance class

 

we are so proud of sarah kate!  she got dressed, rode to dance, put her little dance bag on her shoulder and headed into class just like a big girl.  she didn't want to hold my hand and she didn't cry. in a waiting room we watched the class on a t.v. monitor.  no sound but from the looks of it she was quite compliant and did a great job!  it's a ballet, tap and tumble class so she started out in her ballet shoes and did some pretty fancy twirls and toe-points.  then they changed into their tap shoes and made some noise.  and last they did some tumbling - not sk's strong "subject" so it will be really good for her to get a little gymnastics in at the end of each class.  the best part was that she was so excited after class - bouncing off the walls.  she forgot her bag upstairs so trey was going to go up there with her to get it and she turned around and said, "no dad, don't come, i can get it!"  well, that's that.  she can do it.  she's such a big tiny dancer;)  she is going to enjoy it so much, i can already tell. 

 

she thought she deserved a sucker for her good job...she was right;)

 

 

toe point ;)

 

now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand....

 

now, we have "meet the teacher" thursday morning and she's back to school next wednesday.  bring on fall and school and routines and now dance.  we are ready.
