Dance!

Ainsley takes a dance class every Thursday. She goes to a lady in our ward that teaches dance in her converted garage. Ainsley may never be a professional dancer but she loves going. I would say her skill rivals that of Napoleon Dynamite. She is getting quite good at plies (pee-ay) and sashays (carshay). They get to do tap, ballet, and tumbling. They also get a snack and a story when the need arises.

Parents are allowed to come and watch once a month. It is so cute to see all these two and three year old girls try to make it through a whole dance. Her greatest struggles right now are tapping her toe without bending her knee, and those darn arabesques. It's amazing that she is starting to memorize her dances though. She sings and does her dances at home and while we are at the store. She dances to Spoon Full of Sugar, and Once Upon a Dream. We are very excited for the recital in May.

I know this has nothing to do with your post, but the wainscotting with the pink wall on top is SO CUTE! Did you do that yourselves? Ainsley's comforter with the little buttons is super cute too!

Mel, I'm glad we talk through my blog. The sainscotting was done when we moved in. We painted the wall pink (that pink however was our second attempt...John can complain about that to you later), and I sewed the bottons on the quilt. So thanks!
