dance class

Dear Grace,

Today you started dance lessons. Ballet, tap and tumbling. A few weeks ago, we went to the school, signed you up and had you fitted for your shoes. You were so excited. Ava, from your class at day care, joined up with you..and you were all ready to go...until it was time for class and I walked out. Then, I sat on the other side of the 1 way mirror and watched you cry for 1 hour and 15 minutes. It broke my heart. You said it scared you and you don't like it.

After dance class, we went to mawmaws for spaghetti...and you showed everyone in the lounge the dance steps you'd learned at class. I think once you go a couple more times, you will be the best dancer in class. We just have to keep at it.

Your favorite song right now: Mercy,Mercy,Mercy - Rebirth Brass Band/Maceo Parker
