liz attended a gymnastics party, introducing us to the world of gymnastics! emily has been in ballet for almost 4 years now, we are on the fence about putting lizzie in too. we want her to have the same opportunities her sister gets, but after this party i wonder if this might be a fun option for her instead? as much as i love the ballet, sometimes the parents put me off. when we started, i would sit with baby liz and several other friendly moms with babies, chatting while our daughters danced. now it seems stuffy with moms talking about their plastic surgery or the newest fashions, feels like high school all over again, no thanks. even my mom has commented that she doesnt feel comfortable hanging out during the class, kind of a bummer since we both really love ballet. i am hoping this next season finds some more down to earth moms to hang with.
here is liz enjoying the party:
Ah, yes. I remember running errands or sitting in the car, reading, instead of staying inside the cramped ballet studio in Texas and having to listen to a couple of women I found irritating. But we loved ballet (and still do love it, though we're without our strict but excellent Russian teachers here!).
