Dancing Update

Ashlan did much better at her dance class tonight! I have been talking with her about going into class like a big girl. (i also bribed her with a lollipop). She walked into class by herself tonight but it was only a minute later that I heard her in there crying. One of the teachers brought her out to me and asked that I join them in class once more. Ethan was with me so I was nervous about going in there with a non-cooperative toddler and a 6 yr. old wanting to roll his matchbox cars! Ethan and I curled up in the corner of the room to watch Ashlan dance. She was a little hesitant at first but soon started dancing away. Ethan enjoyed watching the class and was very well behaved. I was so happy!!!! Keep your fingers crossed that next week she will go into class by herself. I have to admit that I enjoy watching her. Deep down, I hope she needs me one more time.....:)

~Dance Class Begins~

The excitement of dancing has been building in the Shriver household for several weeks. I must say the excitement ended the moment that Ashlan walked into the dance studio! She was a little overstimulated by all the music and tu-tu wearing toddlers. Mommy was called into dance class to help ease Ashlan's fears. Mommy's presence didn't help all that much. Ashlan didn't want to participate her first visit but says she wants to go back. Hopefully, she will be a dancing queen in the next few weeks?!?!




Miss Deann had to carry Ashlan during the choo choo train song.

Ballerina Girls

Take a look at these future ballerinas! Ashlan will soon be taking dance lessons on Monday nights. Mommy is counting down the days! It was no surprise that she pulled out the tu-tu and leotards during Baby Arden's recent visit. Doesn't Arden look precious in the ballerina outfit that we had BEFORE Ashlan was even born! Mommy can't believe she had to wait 2 years for dance lessons~ Stay tuned for dance pictures in the near future:)
