are sometimes the ones that seem so small and can sometimes be hard to translate into words.
Lylah has been taking ballet and tap classes lately and she really seems to like it. She "graduated" to a Dance Academy that seems to provide good structure but isn't over the top.
This past weekend, we took the kids to see the "older girls" from the Academy perform the Wizard of Oz. I wasn't sure what to expect as I can imagine it's hard for little ones to sit still for two hours with no talking, only dance.
The kids LOVED it and have already asked to go to more shows.
And for Lylah, it was a turning point where she realized what all those dance moves that she is learning are really all about.
With that, we have now started to have weekly dance parties in our bedroom with the kids. They fire up the music and show us their moves.
For the first dance party, Lylah asked Daddy to do Ballet moves with her. Needless to say, I don't think I will every forget that moment. Brady and I propped ourselves up on our bellies to watch the performance and Lylah and Jon pranced around the room, showing off their twirls, plies, arabesques, while Brady and I laughed til our sides hurt. It was hilarious....it was pure happiness and fun and I loved every second of it.
Watching the kids dance is one thing, but adding the prancing daddy swallow his pride for the kids enjoyment was one of the best of the lil' moments yet!
