Another of Annie's Too Frequent Milestones: Her First Day of Dance

Annie's growing up way too quick.
But dang, it's fun to watch.

She started dance today, and she was so excited about it. Especially about there "being another girl named Annie there!" and "Songs about hippos and Christmas!"
She loves the outfits (we have three different leotards for her already, and the majority feature Disney Princesses . . . it's like she's gone to princess clothes heaven). She loves the ballet shoes (and she's anxiously awaiting her tap shoes, as her "marching didn't sound as good" since her shoes hadn't arrived in time for class today). She thought getting a sucker at the end of class was about as cool as it gets (she also has a similar affection for our bank though). She was so antsy to get there this morning that she bolted to the van and climbed in before I got any good pictures of her dressed and ready to go. Which meant we were well on schedule to arrive a few minutes before we could even get in the building, but it was just so much fun to get caught up in her excitement, that I didn't mind sitting out in the car listening to our Brite Music CD that has some "Watch Me Dance" song on it that we listened to a good 3 or 4 times in a row. The only problem was she kept asking me what the dance terms in the song meant . . . I should've made a list of them so we could've asked her teacher once she got to class! :-)
She informed me after class that she had a lot of fun, and that it wasn't more fun or less fun than preschool, but the same amount of fun. Which is a very, very good thing!
