Dancing Queen

Don't know what is up with my computer posting all my pictures out of order. Anyway, this was the very end of the class. This is called the "do nothing doll."
Careful. Steady. Cautious.


Ballet class

Raychel and her friend Gracie right before class started. Raychel could not keep her eyes from checking out what all was going on.

We decided to enroll Raychel into a dance class after receiving the suggestion from her Dr and teacher (basically she needs some help with her motor skills). Donna introduced me to this place where she takes her girls. I just have to say that this is going to be one of the best investments we have ever made. After a LONG week of anticipation, the actual class exceeded all of Raychel's expectations. The class starts with 20 minutes of ballet then ends with 20 minutes of gymnastics. Raychel tries SO hard. She makes me very proud. She listens to the teacher, follows direction, and tries everything with a smile on her face. I think this will be good for her developing confidence. I think it will help her be a little more stable physically as well. She was amazing me with her ability to do the gymnastics activities. Her teacher was like, "This girl is solid muscle." Muscle and bone. Her favorite part...saying "TA-DA!" when she completed a task.

They also have a mom and kid acrobatics class for age 2-3. I'm going to do that with Cody at the beginning of next year. You should do it with us!

My oh my do I want to squeeze little Raych. She is the perfect ballerina, I think she will stick with it her whole life, I can totally picture it. She looks really good in black by the way, it must be her skin tone. She is so freaking adorable!
