First Day of Ballet. . .

Was last Wednesday, but I finally got a quick chance to blog it! The girls absolutely loved picking out their tutu leotards a couple days before their first class. Lily (shockingly) picked out a pretty BLUE tutu leo with sparkles on the tutu. She did, however, want a pink on at first, but the on she wanted did not fit. Alex picked out a pink one with a pretty pink tulle tutu on it. She kept saying "Pincess! Pincess!" The both could not stop twirling around in the dressing room. Alex threw a lovely fit when we had to take them off.
The first day of class, Lily was ecstatic! She could not wait to get dressed in her ballet clothes and put on her ballerina shoes. We took some fun photos out on our front lawn. It was hard getting them to pose because all they wanted to do was jump around and twirl in their tutus! Little girls are definitely so much fun!Love this photo of the girls. Lily cracks me up. Oh,
how I miss these whimsical childhood days!

Lilyana did so well during her first class. I chuckled to myself to see that every other little girl in her class was wearing a PINK leo, except for my little Lilyana. She is such the star, lol! Lily tried her best to do everything she was asked to do. She looked like she was having a great time. She was very disappointed that she was not able to do the splits, but I told her she just had to keep practicing. She is very determined to accomplish it someday. Alex did well and her attention span lasted most of the class, so I was very impressed with her. She also tried to do as the teacher instructed, which really surprised me. She is just so much of her own independent little person and she likes to do her own thing. It was so much fun watching them prance and parade around and do the ballet moves in their little child way. I am so glad that we decided to enroll them in ballet. I think this will be a fun and wonderful experience for all of us!
