Tap tap...is this thing on?


Little Taya has added Tap to the dance roster! She loves ballet too so I picked a class that is half ballet then half tap. These dang shoes cost a fortune!!! And she said they were too slippery and took them off. Harassed for MONTHS I have been, a jillion dollars I spend....and she takes them OFF. Jerk! But I think it would help if the teacher didn't have them running from one end of the room to the other in them? Plus there are mirrors on the wall and most of the kids just stare at themselves the whole time, so now they are watching themselves run with the slippery shoes...it's not good. Hopefully next week will be better. Those are my baby's striped leggies there :) Can't get enough of these striped knee socks!!! Ballet tights suck! First off-they don't match ANY bodysuit I could ever find. Secondly-they snag and pill real easy. Third-they stain real easy. Fourth-they cost too much. Fifth-you can only use them one place. Sixth-they get that little old man wrinkly loose skin look right at the ankle and that really drives me crazy. And seventh-people love striped knee socks! I suppose the fifth reason could go for the bodysuit, tutu and footwear too... but whatever. Anyhoo, just wanted to share that little pickie! It's so hard to get a good shot...them there 3 yer olds is wiggley!

The poor little girl next to her seems to be in the beginning stages of the "little old man wrinkly loose skin". I could have guessed that was Taya stylin' at her tap class. We do the tap/ballet combo and have a recital coming up with freaking sweet costumes and everything! And just so you don't feel bad, every little girl in Marley's ballet class falls at least once while wearing their tap shoes. ;0)

Emily,
I am so in love with Taya's little stripe covered dancing legs :) and you have got to be the most hilarious story-teller there ever was. I love that you just throw "JERK!" into the story when referring to the kid-LOL! That picture is fanastic-blow that baby up and frame it with a caption along the lines of "Going with the crowd never was my style" orrrrrrrrrrrrrr you could say "well...would you wanna have wrinkly old man legs?" Love you sweetie~Eva

Thanks gals!!! I wish it was a better quality pic cause then I would probably print it out. I might put it in one of those little collage picture frames though :)
