Gwen's First Ballet Class

On Saturday, Gwen had her first ballet class.  She put on her tights, her leotard with skirt, and ballet shoes and off we went.  It may have been the cutest thing I have ever seen (and yes I cried).  There are 10 little girls in her class and believe it or not, they were all bigger than her.  She looked like this teeny/tiny thing, which rarely happens.  I signed her up for an independent class so we weren't allowed in the room.  You could tell she was scared, but she jumped right in.  You could see how hard she was following directions and trying to do everything correct.  They twirled, used the bar, and leaped.  It was one of the best ways to spend an hour on Saturday morning.  I am really looking forward to next week (maybe more so than her). 

There will be a recital at the end of April.  One other mom asked me if I was going to have Gwen participate in it.  My exact words were "Hell Yeah, and I'll be crying too".  She said good, because she was going to sign up her twin girls AND will cry!!  Nobody told me how moms get to be this crazy and weepy!!
