Twirling Girls
I am so happy and proud today – I could burst! My girls had their first day of Princess Ballet Camp through When my triplets were 3, I signed all three of them up for one week of Tiny Tots dance class. None of them would let go of my legs. It was completely impossible. So I quickly got ahold of the P&R office and canceled their class. Luckily, they had pity on me and gave me a refund.
Now this year, Daughter2 actually asked if she could go with Daughter1 this summer. We talked A LOT about what dance class is like, what happens there and how all the little girls have to go in without their mommies and follow the teacher’s instructions. We bought a book with photos of girls their age in dance class and read it in the weeks leading up to it. And today; we got there early...checked out the room....took our time changing into dance clothes....went potty...checked out the room again... and when the time came, the door opened, both girls went in and ....Magic! They were both participating in class, standing where they were told and doing what the teacher showed them. I was practically doing cartwheels in the lobby! They have grown so much. But especially my Daughter2. She has come a long way between her Sensory Processing Disorder and naturally introverted tendencies. To see her participating on the first day... I just know it takes so much courage for her. And the blossoming and maturing she has done over the past year, and her effort to try new things despite how uncomfortable I see she is at first, reaffirms my decision to hold her back (and therefore her triplet brother and sister) for Kindergarten. I am truly feeling she will be OK. Her beautiful smile when she bravely accomplishes something that is new and scary for her tells me so. 3 comments from 3 users
