twinkle toes

greta has been asking to take dance class for a while now. so a few weeks ago she started class at dance express in ft. thomas. we had to get all the gear....tap shoes, ballet shoes, leotard, etc etc. and she loves it! i was nervous for her for the first class, as we all know how greta is with things that are new and not our typical routine. but she did great! the parents got to stay in the room for the first class, so i think helped.
it's so cute to watch the class. to get them all to face forward, the teacher will say, "look and see how pretty you look!" and all the girls turn towards mirror and smile shyly at themselves. maybe i shouldn't like that part, but i do. and there's lots of turn taking and listening and all those skills that are just as important as the dancing.....

can you spot greta in the photos?
otto was enthralled when he got to go watch. something tells me we might have a little billy elliott someday soon.
