Today marked a day I have been dreaming about since having my little girl! I was shocked and incredibly excited that the studio I just started teaching at offers two year old dance classes. So of course, I enrolled our princess. I can honestly say that if Aspen doesn't enjoy dance as she gets older I wont force it on her or be upset. But at this age, she doesn't know any different and she also was really excited about going.
I was pulling her stuff together and as soon as she saw her ballet shoes she insisted on getting everything on at 8:30am, the class wasn't til 10am. At least this gave me the opportunity to get a couple of good shots of her.
Overall I think she did great for her first class. I was talking to some of the other mom's and Aspen is by far the youngest kid in the class, but this will be something she will experience her whole life--get use to it now kiddo! For at least half the class she wouldn't even move. She just sat and watched all the kids doing the little exercises. The teacher was great with her and checked in and asked if she wanted to join, but being a little shy and the "observer" she wasn't having it. Then they brought out some ribbons and that seemed to perk her interest and she started to move around. I think with time she will get more into. She hasn't stopped talking about how "dance class fun!". So even though it didn't look like she was having a blast, I think she was just taking it all in. What an awesome day!

I was always the youngest in classes because of my birthdate so I can see where she just wants to observe. She will get the hang of it. Then when she's older, her friends will have always reached the big milestones, so she won't mind getting old.
She is so cute in her outfit!
What a pretty little dancer!
She makes a very pretty little ballerina. I think all kids are shy and observe when they first try new things. Cameron was like that with gymnastics too.
