Capri has been so excited to get back into ballet. She's been anticipating it, and talking about it, and preparing herself for it. But, when we finally get around to the day/time of her class this is what always happens:
Despite the face on her in this picture she really was enjoying it. There's to be NO photography during the class so I had to sneak... so obviously my choices for picture posting are limited.
Upon arrival her new instructor (who spoke so slowly & quietly I could barely hear) did manage to say loud enough that Capri's ballet shoes were done perfectly (ahem, that was me!!). I noticed she had to stop and re-tie the bows on some of the other girls shoes throughout the class (a big no-no!) I couldn't have been more proud of our preparedness! Capri was sort of nervous, but managed along without a hitch! Also, and this gets me every time, she was noticeably taller than the other girls. This may not seem like a big deal to you, but I'm only 5'2". I married a tall husband on purpose, and it seems my smart choices are paying off!
I did not, however, count on the baby being such a problem! She was wild. Not loud, but just everywhere. I'll have to find another arrangement for her and JD during ballet. It's just too crazy to try and keep the two of them entertained and quiet in the hallway the community center calls a viewing area. I miss our other location, it was so much closer, convenient, and family friendly.
Ah Capri Capri....it is just soo obvious that sometimes the attention of it all is more than she can take. I know you are soo careful about it too. I am so glad she settled in and enjoyed herself, which you just knew she would. She looked ADORABLE. She is getting to be such a big girl. And the only dance studio that I am familiar with (Mel only had the 1 and Lindsey went there too) would have been a nightmare with a baby. It is only an hour or so but NOTHINHG for them to do and nowhere to go. Too bad this Grandma isn't close enough. I could watch the other two or even maybe sometimes just take Capri. Anyway, glad she had a good time. Oh, and yes, Capri is quite tall for her age I think. Taller than Mel was at the same age I think (if I had to say) and Mel ended up 5 foot 7...love ya, mom

Hi there! Thanks for leaving me a comment about being a "reader" ! :) That's funny. I recognized your profile picture from seeing it on your mil's blog before. I remember her sweet birthday post on you. She had such nice things to say.
ReplyDeleteYour little ones are adorable! Love the pictures of Capri in the corner hiding in her ballet attire. :)
Capri is adorable!
