My Model....

Here is a picture of Madeline I got from over the weekend. She is a little model and posed like a pro. I have been a little bad this year and had not had her pictures done since February, so I wanted some in a summer outfit. She picked out the dress (which was the one she wore for Easter) On Easter it was too cold to wear it like this...

Yesterday I signed her up for ballet. She currently takes gymnastics, but has constantly talked about ballet at a real ballet school. She amazes me now when she play dances in the house how well she points her toes and the moves the way she does. I honestly can see her as a dancer in the future. She giggles with excitement about the upcoming classes which don't start until September 3rd. The first thing she asked me this morning was, " Mommy, do I get to go to dance class today?". I told her, very soon you will. The class will consist of a half hour of ballet and a half hour of tap. The sad thing is I won't be able to stand around and watch like I'm used to do at the little gym. They do have a few classes every now and then you can view their progress. This is good because they learn to pay attention and learn the steps without interruption or maybe being embarrassed.
