First Dance Class



So, here I go finally updating you all on Katelynn's first dance class a week after it happened! Katelynn LOVED her first dance class. It's a combination of tap, ballet, and tumbling. I was very nervous as this was going to be her first class where I had to leave her, but she did great- not a single tear or look of fear, and she had a blast! I said goodbye to her after putting on her tap shoes and she went and sat next to the teacher without looking back. We watched her on a monitor in the lobby. It did take her a few minutes before she started actually participating in class, but before long she was dancing with the rest of them, and I think she did really well. She is the youngest in the class. It's a 3-4 year old class, but when I talked with some of the moms in the waiting area, I learned that several of the girls are turning 5 in the next few months, which makes Katelynn super young since the next child is 3.5 years old, and she has yet to reach 3. It made me feel really good though beause considering the age difference, I think Katelynn did a really good job. You would never guess she was that much younger than everyone! When the hour long class was complete, she asked if she could do it again that day. She is supposed to go again tomorrow, but we are all sick after our vacation to Dallas so we may have to sit out her second class. I guess we'll see how tomorrow goes!
