Ballet

Sometimes I wonder if I am trying to live vicariously through my kids. I have always loved ballet and dreamed of being a dancer. Anyone who knows me knows that I am so hopelessly uncoordinated that it will only ever be a dream. My daughters on the other hand have been showing some serious potential. My girls love to dance and despite the handicap of having me as a mother they actually are good at it. They have been in ballet for about a month and I love to watch them. Ava already shows so much poise and talent it amazes me. She loves to watch ballet and already knows some of the positions and how to show emotion while dancing. I love watching her. Alea really seems to love tap dancing. I was worried about her dancing because unfortunately she has inherited her mothers lack of coordination, but she has really taken to tap dancing and ballet. She is so serious during class and you can see the concentration in her face it is adorable. I asked her the other day what is her favorite thing to do in ballet class and she told me that she likes the stretching the best. I had to laugh because it seems like such a silly thing to like to do but I am glad she likes it.
