We signed Vanna up for dance! She is really enjoying it! We thought it was time - she has watched Cash participate in sports and has so patiently waited until we thought she was old enough to be involved in something herself. When we told her that dance classes were about to begin and that she could participate in dance if she'd like, she squealed and bubbled over with joy. Even Cash wanted to join dance classes and he'd do very well at them I'm sure (he's always coming up with his own clogging dances and break-dancing type moves) but because he's such a natural at almost everything he does, and because he is extremely competetive, we thought it best to let Vanna dive into dance on her own rather than have to try to keep up and compete with her big brother. We just want her to be able to try something that is fun and special for just her alone and enjoy it.
I've been happy we made that decision. It's all about Vanna when we go to dance class - she's making friends and having a ball! It's fun to watch her.
She's learned several simple fun little dances appropriate for little girls her age but two in particular are my favorites. 1) Funky Chicken - below you'll see a picture where I tried to capture Vanna shakin' her little bottom but I just couldn't catch it. I just love it - the way she gets down:). 2) I'm Bringin' Home A Baby Bumblebee. Years ago, my dad was quite the performer (he has a beautiful voice and talent for singing) and when I was little, he used to call me up to the stage to sing with him and this is the song he always requested. It always brings back memories whenever I hear the little song and Vanna loved to hear that story when I told her about it.
Vanna has her first little recital in December and they're working on a Little Red Riding Hood number for that. I'm sure it will be absolutely adorable!
