Gymnastics vs. Ballet

Reese has been telling me for months that she wants to do ballet.  She pops up on her toes in the living room and does all kinds of (made up) ballet moves.  She even went so far as to say she would stop gymnastics if only she could do ballet...and she said it with enough drama to win an Oscar!

So, I put her off by saying I'd sign her up for a ballet class...when summer got here.  Well, guess what?  My time is up!  It's not that I don't want her to take ballet, it's just that I'm a creature of habit and I'm stuck in the "we have gymnastics on Monday night" routine.  Plus, she's just so dang cute out there doing cartwheels, straddles and seat drops on the trampoline.  So, what can you do?  Nothing other than start a 6-week summer ballet session on the 16th.  My thought was that we'd do a little short session to see whether or not she's going to like it - my guess is that our 6 week session will turn into something much more permanent.

Wish me luck with my new "Thursday" night routine!
