Lovin' Dance, finally

Bria has been in dance since December and surprisingly didn't like it for a long time! I had to bribe her to even put her leotard on! When she got to dance class, she would just stand there staring with a frown on her face. I was so sad! Not because she didn't want to dance, but that she wasn't having fun. I put her in dance because I wanted her to have a fun activity to do once a week where it was just for her. I am not expecting her to be a dancer, but to just have fun. I finally told her that if she even just jumped up and down, that would be fine. So, she did and I was one happy mom! The other moms must have thought I was crazy when I got so excited because she was hopping all over the room. I was happy though, because she had a smile on her face.

A couple weeks later, when they added in the baskets (their little prop for the dance) Bria totally let loose! She tried so hard to do all the dance moves. There is one part in the dance where they have to kick over their baskets, but they are kind of high, so it is a little difficult. Well, Bria wouldn't move onto the next move until she kicked over the basket! She is doing really well and loves dancing now. These are just some pictures when we got home.

What a cute little leotard! That really makes me want to put Kenzi in dance! Kenzi was just asking for Bria today! They will be friends for life. We had so much fun with you guys. I love your cepia toned pictures of your kids on the swings! What a cool camera and cool pics! Come visit anytime! We really enjoyed playing catch up with you guys. Oh, if there are pics on my blog that you want me to e-mail to you, let me know which ones. I want the one of them hugging in the Cepia tone and the one of them going through the rock formation if you ever get a chance!

I am glad that she is finally liking dance! What a fun trip to see Kali & Taylor. It looks like you guys had such a great time. I am sure the weather was wonderful! I have always wanted to go to the Grand Canyon and we have never been. I flew over it once and it was amazing! It looks like Kenzi and Bria will be really great friends!

I knew she would get into the whole dancing thing. I know you want her to follow your footsteps and be a cheerleader :)
