Her First Ballet Lesson

I was as nervous as Laine.

Because this was my first lesson, too.  As a child, I never took Dance.  This will be detailed in a long list of grievances regarding my childhood.......coming soon in memoir form.  OK, probably not that soon.  I've got a few things on my plate at the moment.

Anyway, I always wanted to.  I think every little girl should.

Except for Shiloh Jolie Pitt.  That wouldn't work.

The crew.

Lainey Caroline, Rylee and Cailyn.


"Give us a ballet pose, girls!"

(((said the paparrazi Allison and me)))

They obviously have some work to do.

Better.

Allison will have fantastic pictures b/c she's even more aggressive than I am when it comes to getting a good shot.  Unfortunately, we won't see those pictures for several months. 

Love ya, Allison!

You can check out her blog here, btw.


Today was a trial run.

Lainey glowed the entire time.  I'm pretty sure her little 3 year old mind was about to burst with happiness. 

After researching options in our area, Allison and I settled on a very laid back option.....a dance instructor who just left her former studio is doing lessons at home......perfect.





Can you hear her squealing?

I honestly believe this might have been the happiest I have ever seen our sweet daughter. 

 I cried.  Real tears, people!  It was very emotional for me.


Jack didn't cry.

In case you were wondering.



Can you see me there in the background?  I am giddy.  Had a blast watching my girl.

But, don't worry.  Our dainty little ballerina shredded her tights at the Davidge house later in the evening trying to keep up with the boys.

 She's not all "girl".

Keepin' it real, folks.

Ha! Thanks for the shoutout...I laughed. Out loud. You are right, they won't make it to my blog for a bit, but I am going to try to shutterfly them soon so grandmas, cousins, and you can see them. (:
Fabulous pics, btw!
Love the shot of Laine-in-motion, grinning from ear to ear.
Love everything about this.

So awesome! She looks THRILLED and I love her outfit.
I took dance starting at three.
I still have my costume and my shoes.
I had them hanging in my room growing up because I was HUGE.HUGE.HUGE into dance. I even taught at my studio in high school. I taught the kids Lainey's age :)
Good times!

So so so cute, Casey! We love our lessons. There is just something about little girls in ballet slippers that kills me. Laine is just gorgeous. Plain and simple.

Casey!! She just gets more and more beautiful. Love that girl and she looks precious in her ballet outfit.

At least they were good, happy tears :)

Jack was very concerned. I can tell.

I am in the same boat here. I never took dance growing up and I think every little girl should! It looks like Lainey had a great time! I can't wait to see more. Will she have a recital?
