Trainwreck in tights

Don't get me wrong here. Claire was adorable as could be in her ballet outfit. She was grinning from ear to ear when we got to the dance studio today. It was after the door opened to the dance room and the teacher called everyone into class that the trainwreck began. She was petrified to go in without me as she watched another little girl sobbing in the teachers arms. Not a good start. I know she is young but this really is an age appropriate class...minus mom though! They play dress up and listen to fun music while tip toeing across the floor. We are going to try again next week so wish us luck that things will get better. Claire has some serious stamina when it comes to crying and wanting her mama back. Whew...it can wear anyone out!

If she looks a little tired in the first pic it's because she partied hard last night with her aunt and uncles. She couldn't be any more excited or wound up than when she's around her "fan club" (which is everyone in our families and that's a lot of people!). She slept in til 8 today. I actually had to wake her up. She lifted her little head and the first word out of her mouth was...."Carolyn". Her Aunt Carolyn was the last face she saw last night and she was ever so hopeful that she was still around. She was halfway back to Chicago though.

So cute!!!!! They have her doing dancing without you. Did they have a class where you are there too or did you not want to try that. She looks adorable!
