Dance




Today was Riley's first dance class. She stood in front of the class for the first 10 minutes sniffling, then the next 10 minutes she sat in one of the teachers laps, then the next 10 minutes she picked up everybody's place mat on the floor, then the next 10 minutes she cried as the teachers switched her tap shoes to her ballet shoes, and then the class was over! Oh yeah, I had to bribe her just for her to stop crying and to settle down at home so I could put her tights and leotard on before we left. All the people at McDonald's were looking at the horrible mother who let her daughter eat ice cream at 10:00 in the morning while breakfast was still being served. This is going to be a long six weeks!
