Ballet?

Who would've ever thought that my daughter would want to take Ballet? Who would've thought her favorite color would be pink and all she would want to wear are frilly dresses with bows and flowers? God is too funny! I love Ryan for who she is becoming. This girl always wants her princess dress on and gets so excited every time it gets washed. She plays house and is always the Mommy or the "boss" as I see it. Playing school and church she is always the teacher. She makes her sister stand up to sing songs for church and fold her hands and close her eyes to pray. She makes her go to sleep in her bed and pick up her toys when playing house. She always pretends to take Bekah to the library, the movies, the museum, and Walmart. Of course Bekah does as she says bc she is the "boss." In this respect, I definitely see her mommy. I always played these same things with my brother. However, I did not enjoy dresses and being girly at all! I still dont enjoy it so much. I do like to wear pink shirts these days but definitely not when younger. Ryan is always twirling and dancing across the living room floor when she has a chance. Doing Ballet moves I have no idea where she learned them. So, after talking to Scott I found a place she could take some Ballet that also teaches tap. The girl loves it!! She is adorable learning it. If you excuse the times she stops to pick her nose she looks so pretty too. I dont know if she will ever be good at Ballet or Tap, but for now it is something active that she enjoys so we will keep at it! I just want to encourage her girly tendencies as the one thing I never liked about myself growing up was that I wasnt girly.
