the smirking continues at ballet.
So last week was an exhausting week of firsts – first days of school, 3 year old check up (more on that later) and our first ballet class. Emilia, because she’s such a prima ballerina (NOT!) has moved up a dance class and is now in a group of 3-5 year olds. The class is still 30 minutes long but in addition to ballet they introduce the girls to tap. Holy exhausting. Of course Emilia, up until last Friday, had been begging to go back to ballet. I explained that her friends from last class would probably not be there but that I knew Maisie and Zoe would be in her class (fortunately, another little girl from our ‘hood is also there).
In typical Denise fashion, and because of those darn Latino genetics, of course we arrived late to our first class.
Typical.
My friend Betsey even called me while I was pulling in to the parking lot to see where I was and if she could snatch Emi out of the car and take her in to class.
of course, no time for before-class photo shoot. guess who’ll be there early this week.
Shocker – Emilia wanted nothing to do with ballet class. In fact, despite my best efforts, I had to sit in the studio with her and have her on my lap in order to even get her in the door. After a week of firsts, she was just d.o.n.e.

Love the smirk and so glad to see Emi with a smile on her face today at dance; even when she had her fingers in her ears during the tap part! :)
