Riley started ballet last Tuesday. She was so excited to get dressed up in her pink leotard, tights and ballet shoes. She loved having her hair up in a bun, she was pretty amazed that it all fit into a little ball on top of her head. She's so cute!! In class they're learning the basic stretches and starting on positions. They're also practicing their skipping. I'm so proud of her, she's one of only about 4 girls in her class that can actually skip. At yesterday's class, the teacher, Ms. Shields, was telling the parents to take notice that the 5 years olds get it when it comes to skipping and the 4 year olds just need more practice. Riley announced "I'm 4 and I can skip." She was so proud!! Her teacher also informed me that skipping is a sign of intelligence, something about the coordination that it takes to skip. She has yet to learn her ABC's by sight, but she can skip, she's one smart cookie :)!! She asks everyday if she has ballet, she wants to go more than once a week.
