Back to Dance Class

Kelsey started dance class this week. Last year she did the Mommy and Me class where I danced with her and was able to help her with the movements. However, this year she is dancing by herself. She and I talked about dance class a lot leading up to it. I would remind her that she could not run around, she needed to listen to her teacher, and she needed to try the dance moves. When the teacher called her name to go in the studio, she did not hesitate at all and went right in to get started. I stayed with her for a minute to make sure she was comfortable, but she was such a big girl and joined the others right away. I was a very proud mama. Throughout the session, I would peek in the window to see how she was doing and she seemed to be following along and doing what she should be. She came out afterward with a smile and said she liked it. She also commented that they did not get to do the rhythm sticks. Those were her favorite last year ;) Looks like yet another step toward becoming our independent girl.
