E is for Erickson: Twinkle Toes

This summer we signed Jayden up for ballet class and today was her second week! Last week she didn't do so great. When we showed up, even though she was really excited about going, she did not want to participate. She wanted to watch the first 40ish minutes! She had a mini meltdown when I left the room and she sat on the floor while the other girls danced with their teacher, Ms. Stephanie.

The last 5 minutes of the class, she finally stood up and twirled around a few times with the other girls and after class she ran up to me saying she "loved class!" and told me she's now a ballerina (too bad she didn't feel that way the whole class!). My mom definitely put it best, parenting is a very humbling profession. As much as you prepare your kids ~ they won't always do their best, behave the way you want or do as they are told.

Luckily, today was a new day and she did 150% better! It was like night and day! When we first drove up, I was a little nervous as she said she only wanted to watch today, but when Ms. Stephanie walked in, Jayden ran into the classroom and joined right in!

She was perfect in class! She listened, followed instructions and was SO adorable dancing in class!

First day of dance!
