After finishing swimming lessons, Sloane (ever the busy-body) asked if she could try dance lessons. We checked classes at the YMCA and, for 3-5 year olds, they offer ballet. So, we picked up a pink leotard and some fabulous ballet shoes at Target, and were ready for our 5-week summer session. Sloane was the youngest in the class, but did a great job and had a lot of fun. Each week she would show us different dance steps and positions. Her favorite was the Arabesque!

The most difficult part was that parents weren’t allowed in the classroom! It was so difficult to sit outside and sneak peaks through a tiny window in the door. However, I did my best not to be “that” parent. On the last day of class the ballet teacher invited all of the parents in to see what everyone had learned. I was so excited because I had been dying to take pictures—it was super cute!

Although Sloane enjoyed the class, she in anxious to get back to swimming! She and Reese will begin swim lessons again next week. Sloane will be in a more independent class (sans parents) which is just crazy, and Reese will be taking a class along with Greg. Both should be interesting and make for some more great photo opportunities and posts! Stay tuned…
