Emily decided to give up gymnastics this year and try out ballet instead.
She has really been enjoying it - especially the pretty costumes!
She made me laugh inside (but don't get me wrong, I was VERY proud of her) when she told me about her teacher having them vote on which costume their class was going to wear. Apparently the class picked out a strapless, low cut outfit, but Emily told her teacher that her mother would NEVER let her wear that because our family believes in being modest. So her teacher said they would work it out and look for something else. Way to stand for what you believe in, Emily!
I think the costume is very pretty! Even if it does cover them up, LOL
Watching her dance takes me back to all the years I did dance. I'm glad I have a daughter who is trying it out. I empathize with all the hours my parents put in watching me, though. Now I am the one putting make up on the little girl and tucking underwear in and making sure she makes her curtain calls. Thanks, Mom! I know you put in a lot of time doing all those little things.
