Girls
Today I taught my first ballet class in about 7 years. Now 7 years ago I was barely a mom and knew very little about the world of boys. I had been teaching ballet for years. I mostly taught older girls 10 and up. WHAT A DIFFERENCE. I was greeted today by this sweet little 4 year old princess in pink who brought me a flower and a picture of a heart that she drew for her new ballet teacher, because she knew she would love me. Come on how sweet is that? Not one reference to a body part or body function for the entire 45 minute class. Amazing! They sat still and quietly looking up with great adoration for this "ballerina" that they think I am. It was very funny to me. They all wanted to be butterflies or a fairy. Now in comparison Tyler and his good friend George were in the other room for preschool. When I gathered them from class they were whooping and jumping around frightening all around them proudly announcing "I'm a monster MOM!" But truth be told as refreshing as it was to work with a bunch of girls I wouldn't trade my boys for anything. Well, at least not today.

I loved, loved, loved this post! Today, once Eric got home from school I heard non-stop, "Trick-or-treat, smell my feet..." BUT, that is really fun to hear that you are teaching again! Has is really been that long? Yes, you are a ballerina for sure! I think that is so sweet getting that little gift. You will have to give an update every so often on this cute class!
Oh how I wish we were there!! Ke'Nia so wants to do ballet but we haven't found a teacher that will take her becuz she is still "just to young" Whatever!! She just wants to be a ballerina!!
I bet that couple hours a week with the girls will be refreshing. I know that both boys and girls have their pros, but there is just something about girls.
