Tiny Dancer

Emilynn is all signed up for dance class!  She & I went this morning and signed her up.  Papa kept Carson at the house, so she & I had a special outing.  She was so cute, she marched right in there like a big girl and stood while we registered her.  She also explored her dance room (I guess that's what you call them, I'm new to this) and put on all her charm for the owner.  She decided to go around the desk and hop right up in her lap.  The lady just ate her up.  She kept saying "Ms. Robin is going to LOVE you!".  Ms. Robin is her teacher.  Brave woman has 4 two-two 1/2 year olds for the class and will take up to 8!  Emmy just kept smiling and cheesing for Joy, the owner, and even turned to tell her "Thank you" when we left.  She was telling me how if she cried at first, not to worry.  After a few minutes she said, I don't think we're gonna have to worry about her!  Boy, did she figure Emmy out right away.  Tomorrow I have a dr's appointment, so we are going to get Emmy's dance outfit because she starts Thursday.  I am so excited for her.  And me.  :-)  I think I'm living through her a bit.  I took dance but quit when I broke my arm (not dance related.).  You are probably wondering why I'd sign up a 20 month old for dance, when she has the rest of her life to dance.  I was wondering if I was crazy myself, but I have just been feeling like she is ready.  She is mature for her age and she LOVES to dance.  She will dance on commande.  I really think it's going to be good for her.  Am I just saying this because she's mine?  I don't think so.  Is Carson ready for something like this?  No way.  He's content being a baby and being Momma's boy.  It would totally traumatize him to have to do something like this right now.  Emmy, on the other hand, is a go-getter.  She is independent and ready to take on the world.  I kind of like it this way, I get the best of both worlds!  I have my cuddle bear and my fiesty girl.  When we went to Abbey's volleyball game last night, some little girls were hitting a ball outside.  Emmy kept trying to get away from me to go to them.  When we were close enough I let her go and she immediately ran right over to them and turned around and got in place ready for them to hit the ball to her.  It was so cute!  She always has to be in the middle of everything.  She also likes to sit by herself at the games, and she cheers and claps.  Anyway, I am excited to see what she does at dance.  I also plan to start taking them to Sunday School since a new year is starting. I like my class and want to get to go more regularly.   Their teacher made a point to tell me she had a helper for a while, so that is good.  I think it might be a bit much to have dropped them off if she didn't have a helper.  I try to do projects and things with them at home and it is hard at their age.  We'll see how it goes.  It seems like yesterday I had two tiny babies and this week I've talked to two teachers for them-dance teacher and Sunday School teacher.  Weird......
