I'm not quite sure how, but Jocelyn is definitely a girly girl. She'd wear a dress or skirt every day if she had enough. And she loves to dance. So when Anita told me about a dance class at the Sports Center in town, I decided to sign her up. It's only 7 sessions, so I thought it'd be a good beginning to see if it's something she'd want to do.
Well, I made the mistake of telling her about it about a month ago. She's talked about it ever since. And she had so many ideas about what it was going to be like. She thought there would be a guy playing a piano so they could have music to dance to. And that she'd hold hands with all the other girls and dance in a circle. And that she needed to wear a fancy dress, fancy shoes, a necklace and a bracelet. Grandma found this dress for her, and when she saw it, said "Mama, that's the prettiest skirt I've ever seen!" It was just perfect for dance class.
This was the pose she wanted to do.
Who's that big girl?
But, once we got there, she wasn't too sure about it. I thought she'd probably be a little bit shy. I had to sit right by her for about the first 10 minutes, but then she did good. Parents can't be in the room after the first class, so that should be interesting. She did great - followed directions very well. Her dancing skills need a little work, but hey, she's only 3.
She walks around on her tiptoes quite often, so she had this move down pat!

Who doesn't love watching themselves in a mirror? They have a recital the last day of class, and will be performing one ballet dance and one jazz dance. That should be the funniest thing I've ever seen.
And then, to temper all the girly-girly stuff, Daddy came home from his fishing show with a new fishing pole!
Daddys let the kids do such fun things....
