Madeleine and Claire started dance and gymnastics this week (gymnastic pictures to come). This year Madeleine is doing ballet and tap. It is one class that does both ballet and tap. She was so excited about her tap shoes. She was also really excited about starting dance again. Ms. Jenn (dance teacher) came out to get the girls and she ran right in with a huge smile on her face. Claire is doing the baby ballet class this year which is not a recital class but still lots of fun for her. She looked adorable and absolutely loved it. the moms stay in the room and watch so Madeleine was with me and Jenn asked her if she wanted to be her helper. Madeleine was really sweet watching and "helping" the toddlers. She was so proud of herself and felt so grown up. Claire did a great job listening and doing what Jenn said to do. She too was feeling very proud and grown up. That night at dinner Madeleine said her favorite part of the day was watching Claire do baby ballet.
