Ballerina Ava

Anyone who knows our girl knows she loves to dance! One of her favorite book series (and cartoon) is Angelina Ballerina. She loves her and wants to be a "real ballerina" someday, just like Angelina.

After months of researching dance studio options and counting down with Ava, we finally started class this week at the YMCA (small class sizes and a fraction of the cost dance studios charge). She was over the moon. I thought for sure she'd clam up once we arrived (common with my shy girl) but she proved me wrong. There are only seven little girls in her class (a good thing) and a wonderful teacher who has been dancing her entire life and even majored in it in college.

I felt like we were at the pediatric dentist once again, as no parents are allowed in the studio. You can't even watch through the window (they put curtains on them). They do, however, have a camera in the studio so you can go to the waiting area and watch them on TV. It was quite amusing for all we moms :) Thirty minutes flew by very quickly, and all our little ballerinas did so well!

Way to go Ava!
