Tap Shoes and Library Story Time

Isaac thinks the world of Lydia (and I know Lydia thinks Isaac is the coolest kid around town!). All through out story time Isaac kept scooting over to his sister and just putting a hand on her.  It was cute ;) 

"Lydia lets dance together!"

"I will hold you tight Isaac".

Lydia is taking a tap class and "needed" tap shoes (need and want is a lesson we need to work on!).

I think mom is brave to have tap shoes in the house ;) 

Dance Class!

 Lydia has been taking a dance class where she has had soooooo much fun! She has twirled, jumped, and talked every day about dance class. This week was parent observation day and it became evident that Lydia really does LOVE dance class ;)

"Mom are you really going to watch me dance???"

Isaac enjoyed dance class allot - don't you think?

The children all sitting in a row waiting their turn. Yep, that is my sweet little girl standing on her head. I really love parent observation days and I love the fact that I get to have the little girl who is SOOOOOO excited to have an audience she can't focus. hehe - not being sarcastic. For years I have always finished teaching a class and just love the little one who marches to her own drum beat! 

Ballet Class for Lydia

 Actually remembered to take pictures! Score ;)

Twisting. 

And the reason there are only two pictures - every time I would take a picture Lydia would stop dancing to stare at me... 

Dance Class

I really like the Parks and Rec classes for young children. They can be exposed to so many different activities with short commitments (and minimal cost for Mom and Dad!). 

Lydia has been asking for a dance class. She thinks that she is going to go teach a dance class and get to tell all her friends what to do and how to do it however, we signed her up for a class where she gets to be the student and Mom is not the teacher! 

Getting dressed. Sooooo excited! 

And I completely forgot to take pictures during the class... Oh my! Next week!

First Day of Dance Class

 Over the years I have always chuckled when moms call me and want to register their brand new 2 year old for dance class. And here I went and signed my brand new 2 year old up for dance class (her class is mom and me so maybe I am not really pushing her!).

My brand new 2 year old REALLY REALLY REALLY wants to go to dance class (or go to work with me!). As I have seen how unpredictable 2 year olds are we just signed Lydia up for a 3 week introduction to Ballet with Mom in the room. Thought this was a perfect fit.

Lydia was SO excited about her dance class. She talked about it for weeks. She was up at 4:30 AM ready to go dance (thankfully the class is a 9AM class!). She practiced dancing before we left. I thought for sure I could get a picture of this cute little girl dancing. I tried but this is the best that I got!

See I said 2 year olds are unpredictable! 

On the drive to dance class, Lydia talked constantly about dance. She was going to spin, jump, kick, AND listen.

Walking in to dance class, Lydia continued talking about how much fun she was going to have but quit demonstrating.

As we waited for the teacher, Lydia sat in my lap looking at her new friends.

And then the class started, Lydia observed dance class. I think maybe by week 3 she might move her foot ;) hehe

BUT at home she was thrilled to show me all that she learned in her dance class. No camera though for Lydia's dancing. Over the past several days, Lydia has shown us a few more dance steps and has defiantly talked about dance class. But I think we will wait another year or so before signing up for another dance class ;)
