Ballet 2/26

Would you believe me if I told you I have to MAKE Dakota go to dance on Mondays? She never wants to get ready to go when it's time and I have to force her to go get changed and let me put her hair up. Usually, once she's dressed, she's happy and ready for dance but it never fails that we have to have that initial struggle each week. I'm not trying to be the mom who forces her kids to do a sport/activity they don't like but I am making her finish this dance season because 1) it's expensive and 2) I have front row tickets to her recital. Also, she really seems to love dance class each week and practices her dancing all the time. She even tries to teach Harper and her friend Sydney what she's learning! I'm really hoping the day will come that she'd rushing me out the door in an effort to get to dance on time and not the other way around...

Here's a snippet from last night's class:

Don't you just love that little sassy walk?! I'm going to tell her she should just walk like that all the time, it's so darn cute!
