tiny dancer

today was taylor's 1st day at dance class. she is taking a baby tap class! i was super excited!!! yesterday we went out and got her a leotard, tights, ballet slippers and i couldn't resist, i had to get her the cute little skirt to wear over it all! what was more exciting is that she's the one who kept saying she wanted to take dance class. i think it's from watching all those reality dancing shows on tv that we watch like "so you think you can dance," and "america's best dance crew." so i was under the impression that we were going to observe the baby tap class to see if we wanted to take it then take the baby boogie class-which is the intro. ballet/dance class. we get, the teacher gives her loaner tap shoes and she's participating in the class and not observing. so i think that confused taylor. cause i had prepped her all the way to dance class that she had to sit and watch the tap class...and so i think she was confused as to why she had to participate. but she was new and learning and loving the sound of tap shoes on her feet hitting the floor. she picked up the things fast that the teacher-ms. sheri was teaching them like how to shuffle and chasse (sha-say). there were times though that she didn't want to get in line and follow what they were doing. but it's okay. it was her first day and she has yet to learn their daily routines in that class. i'm so excited and happy and proud of her! so i turns out that baby boogie starts next month. ms. sheri said she can try out the tap class for a month and see if she wants to continue. i love it! and tomorrow she starts swim! this is fun! although it makes me feel old cause...i never thought i'd actually live this day out where i'm actually taking my very own 2 year old to dance class.
