Let the Dancing Begin!

I have been waiting for the day the Paige turned 2 and she was able to enroll in dance class. We went to register and we were put on a waiting list which really made me sad, then on Saturday we got a call that that had opened another 2 to 3 year old class on Wednesdays from 9:45 to 10:30. Clay that I was a little crazy because I was really excited.

On the list of goods to get for the class, she needed tap and ballet shoes and it specifically noted they can't be Walmart or Payless brand. I stopped by Payless to see how much money they were and was thinking great the shoes are going to be twice as much at the dance store, but to my surprise they were actually cheaper. They also called for pink tights, so I headed to kidtokid thinking that I could get them cheaper there, so I bought a pair of pink dance tights, but another think I have learned is that ballet pink is not pink but more of a peachy color. Lots to learn!

Paige was so darling trying on dance shoes. First she tried on Ballet shoes. She sat on the bench very quietly watching as the lady tried on about 5 different pairs of shoes. Once the perfect fit was found she said that Paige could get up and try them. Paige grabbed my hands and said "Dance Mommy" so we stood and danced in circles for a minute. Then it was time for the tap shoes, she again sat there very quietly while she was fitted for shoes and as soon as she was allowed to walk around she again said "Mommy Dance" and she grabbed my arms and danced. She was also able to pick out a cute bag to put all her gear in.

The first day of dance class was cute. She was excited to wear her leotard and tights (the tights ended up being way to big but I finally found some that fit perfect!!) Her teachers name is Miss Lauren and I think she is going to be an awesome teacher. There are only 4 girls in her class and Paige more or less just sat and took everything in for the first day! She seemed to really enjoy herself. It is going to be hard to get pictures because you are looking through a window that has blinds on it! :(

Going Straight

When the boys are away the girls will play! This day Paige and I had a few hours to ourselfs which ended up being a beauty day for Paige. She got her nails painted and stayed still long enough for mommy to straighten her hair.

Toy Story 3

This was Paige's first movie to enjoy in the movie theatre. I just think it was fun because Grammy took Matthew to see his first movie Cars and here we are 4 years later and Grammy is taking Paige to see her first movie. She loved it but we knew she would because she love Buzz.
