Dancin, Dancin, Dancin, She's a Dancin Machine

Hollyn had her first dance class on Saturday. She has been wanting to take dance for a while now, but she had to be three, so ever since she turned three she has been asking me when dance was. Finally after weeks of waiting she was finally able to DANCE! She loved it! She loved wearing her leotard, lights, tutu and ballet shoes. She loved twirlling around with her hands on her head. She loved turning her toes out. She loved doing the side step. She loved every moment. For those of you who know me you know that growing up I was a complete Tom Boy and played every sport, but dance was not my thing. In fact my mom told me that she put me in dance and pulled me out. When I asked if it was because I didn't like it she said, "Yes, but it was more that you were extremely uncordinated." So my question is how did I get this girl who is completely girly, and loves to dance and sing? Don't get me wrong I love every minute and wouldn't change a thing. I guess sometimes as parents we raise our child to be completely opposite of ourselves without even realizing it. Mare I'm sure if you are reading this you are having a good laugh, since we love giving eachother a hard time about our extra curricular activities in high school and my daughter is nothing like me. I'm still going to try to sneak in one sport, maybe soccer so she can prance around on the field!?! I love being a mom!
