Twinkle toes

Anyone who has spent much time in Charlotte's company has witnessed her rather, well, UNIQUE dancing style.  Corey thinks she dances like Elaine from "Seinfeld", but I think even Elaine may have had more traditional moves.  I have asked Charlotte in the past if she would like to take dance lessons, and she told me bluntly, "I don't need to take lessons.  I already know how to dance!"

The stars finally aligned and we arranged for Grandma JoJo and Grandpa Spike to make their early early birthday present to Charlotte the gift of tap/ballet lessons.  Said lessons started today, and Charlotte was super excited (even though she still maintained she is just taking the lessons for fun since she already knows how to dance).  It's so cliche, but there is nothing cuter than a preschooler dressed up for ballet class.

(I made Charlotte that skirt for the special occasion.  Charlotte liked the material because it was "very smooth".)

She tried to entice Rocky to come dance with her.  He took one sniff and scampered off in search of mischief instead.

We had to try on the tap shoes as well.  So. Stinkin'. Cute.

She can't wear her dance shoes outside of the classroom, so she picked her cowgirl boots to complete the ensemble.

It was then that things started to get a little goofy with this photo shoot.

Watch out, dance class.  Charlotte is ready to kick, stretch, and kick!
