This is the second year we've put Raegan in dance class, the first year she was in the 3-4 year old class and ruled it, she did really well and was at least a head taller then the rest of her class. This time around she has been moved up to the 5-7 year old class at barely 5 years old. It hasn't always been easy for her this time because some of the girls in her class have been taking dance for a lot longer then her. I remember one time I went to pick up Raegan from dance a couple minutes early and they were practicing their recital dance and Raegan saw me and I could see instantly in her face that she was doing all she could do to hold back the tears with a fake, forced smile. The second she came out of class and hugged me she broke down crying and said that she didn't want to go to dance and she missed me.
I am really proud of her though, because she didn't ever miss a class, and she worked hard and learned her recital dance perfectly. She performed with a smile on her face and was excited to get on stage. To me she was the best one up there, but I may be biased. She does like dance, but I think this fall we'll skip the dance and try soccer for a season.
