The girls each got to choose something they wanted to do. Ira picked ballet. She started up not long after school got out and has been LOVING it. She looks absolutely
adorable in her leotard, doesn't she? :) They don't like the parents to be in the studios with the kids so if I want to watch I have to do it through a window. I'm going to ask her if she minds me taking a couple of shots of her while she's practicing and then (provided she's okay with that) post them. :) She tells me every week what she learned and how they're doing. It's so fun!

Little One, my one I just KNEW was going to be a cute little ballerina, decided she wanted to do karate. This is my girl that around 4 years old saw some leotards in Target and went, "Mom! WHAT are those?" I explained and then in a dreamy sort of voice she said, "I want to do ballet...." LOL Earlier this year though, she went to a friends birthday party at a karate dojo and LOVED it. She's been talking about how that's what she wants to do ever since. I made sure she really wasn't going to change her mind when Ira got her leotard and then signed her up. She's been having a blast and even I have signed up and started. It's been something I've always wanted to do anyway and it's fun to do it with her. We have different classes, but can "practice" together. These guys are amazing with the kids. So kind and encouraging. I've been beyond impressed. They have places to sit and watch so I did get some pictures of her.
