Little Dancer

Today Claire started her first ballet/tap dance/gymnastics class. She has done gymnastics before, but always with me in the class too. Today she was just with the teacher. We have been talking for the last two weeks about how she needs to follow instructions, listen.. etc. Regen is such a little rule follower and scared of authority, that I really have never worried about her.. Claire, she is another story. The class started out with tap dancing in which she stood like a statue with this really funny frown on her face. She did not participate the entire time. When it turned into ballet and gymnastics class, she opened up and loved it. We'll see how tap goes next week. She did pretty well listening to the teacher, however, I noticed that the little girl in class that kept getting up and running around when she shouldn't have been, had a little girl following her.. that little girl being Claire.
