We decided not to send Emma off to preschool like so many other parents of 3 year olds and instead we enrolled Emma into ballet. I had spent months agonizing over my decision. After going to different preschools and dance studios and hearing them all give their say we made our choice. I was looking for something that would give her discipline, social time, coordination, poise, and special Emma time away from mommy and Ewan. This seemed like the perfect fit. 3 in my mind seems like such a young age to be shuffling your child off to school, but to get to dress up once a week, put your hair up special and have a total girly time seemed like the right thing to do.
Emma was super excited about going shopping for her special ballet clothes and new shoes. A half hour before her first class I let her get all ready and dance away in Ewan's room. We hadn't moved anything into the room yet so it was a perfect place to play and dance away.
Then it was off to her first Class. She ran right up to the door at Time to Shine studio....
And in no time at all was in the thick of things with all the other ballerinas . Up on her toes peering into her class waiting to go in. She jumped right in and did what ever the teacher said and as she did her leaps twirls and steps she gave out gleeful yells of "YIPPY" I knew right away that this was an excellent choice and that she was going to be just fine.
