My two year old little girl has discovered dance. She's been begging me for quite some time to allow her to take classes. I recently relented, and my goodness, it's a whole other world!
The first day of class, I was shocked to see four other little girls there. Wasn't shocked to see them, just shocked to see what they were wearing. Two had on tutus, and three of the four had curled hair. I swear I caught a glimpse of some sparkly lip gloss. Ugh. I'm so not that mom. I'm not a pink or frilly person, and letting my munchkin step into that world terrifies me. If she asks about pageants next I'm going to immediately enroll her in karate.
In any case, she had a great time, seems to be quite good at it, and hasn't asked to have a tutu of her own yet. So far so good!
I've been on a search for cute dancing t-shirts for her that don't emphasize the fluffy frill that is sometimes associated (ok, pretty much always associated with) ballet. I found this cute little tee, and it suits her perfectly:
Now we'll see how her tap classes go! Oh boy...
