Dreaded Dance - Part 1

Many of you remember the years and years Tracy spent forcing her family to sit though recitals and competitions, not to mention the hundreds of dollars worth of classes, shoes, and costumes, therefore one would think that paybacks would be hell and our daughter would be the craving the spot light from birth… but (luckily) that is FAR from reality!!! The mere mention of dance class makes Riley cringe; however the fact that Lexa will be in class dancing with her is all that keeps her going!

Riley and Lexa are going to begin a 6 week dance class in March so this past weekend, Darcy and Tracy took the girls on a shopping adventure for ballet shoes, tap shoes and leotards and then out for a girls only pizza dinner. Riley has been exited for the tap shoes and enjoyed trying them on but began to pout when it was time to try on ballet shoes. When we got to Target and found all the adorable leotards, Lexa was so excited she nearly stripped down in the cart, whereas Riley began to legitimately cry while trying them on. We are afraid it is going to be a long six weeks… more to follow in 2 weeks…

Plain-ole MAD at Mommy for making her try on the leotard AGAIN!

(this was the only leotard that she was even sort of ok with purchasing)

Hiding in the corner b/c she hates the outfit so much!
