Our Budding Ballerina

Lucy started taking ballet/jazz lessons at the beginning of the year. She had lessons every Friday afternoon and she looked forward to them each week. We're taking a break now that summer is here. Check out that pose......yikes.
There's a few funny things I want to remember about Lucy taking lessons:
-She refuses to wear tights with her leotard. She's always the only bare-legged ballerina out there, but she doesn't care. For Lucy, it's all about comfort (she takes after her mom in that department). She no longer is interested in soccer (sob, sob) because we had the same issue with the shin guards. She fusses and frets over how tight her ballet shoes, but somehow manages to keep dancing (although, she reminds me at the end of every lesson that they are uncomfortable).
-She always hopes that we're late for lessons because she hates doing the stretches. I try to get her to explain why, but she just says they hurt.
-the jazz moves "make her ribs hurt", but she still likes them.
With all the aches and pains this girl has, you'd think she was 60, not 6!

Yea, I love updates. Yes, Yikes! Love that pose. Lucy is such sweetie! Maybe when she's older she'll try soccer again. You can always hope!

Oh, hilarious! Tay doesn't like the stretching in dance class, either. I feel bad when she's trying to touch her toes, and can't. Because I'm still like that. It will be a lifelong struggle. I love those sassy frassy girlies!
