Today was supposed to be Kylie’s first day of soccer, but due to the massive amounts of rain we have been getting lately it was canceled. The school we are supposed to be playing at has there soccer field located out back, however it is in a low lying portion of the property. This means that there is the potential for soccer to be canceled even if it hasn’t rained since Thursday depending on how much rain we get. While it was disappointing that today’s soccer was canceled (we knew last night at around 9pm) it turned out to be a good thing for Kylie because of ballet. In addition to today being Kylie’s first day of soccer it was also the morning that her ballet class was having there pictures taken for rehearsal. All the kids across all the different classes at her dance academy all went to a professional photography studio and had, at the very least, a picture taken with their entire class (if everyone showed up of course) and if desired they also had individual portraits taken, while wearing their recital costume. Each class was given a schedule time slot and even though Kylie’s class was scheduled for 9am to 10am (soccer starts at 10am and goes to 11am) she did not get finished with pictures until almost 10:40am, and she was only there for the group picture. So as it turns out she would have missed the first day of soccer anyway even if it weren’t canceled. Hopefully the weather will be nicer for next weekend and then we can have our real first day of soccer.

Look How Far They’ve Come
Kylie’s ballet recital is fast approaching and tonight I got to go see another preview of her class’ routine. It is really impressive to see how far these girls have come since they all began class. Watching a child grow and learn is truly one of the greatest things you can witness and be a part of. Speaking of witnessing it, you can view the new video below, or you can click here to view it over on the video page. The video below can take a few seconds to load, so please be patient.
Sneak Peek of Kylie’s Recital
Today I had the opportunity to go watch a sneak preview of Kylie’s ballet recital, not the entire thing just what they have learned so far. I have seen Kylie do her ballet before, both in class and around the house, and I have always been impressed and very proud of her, but seeing her with the entire class is impressive. Both Kylie and her classmates have come a long way and are doing great! I can’t wait to go see her first recital. The video I took with my phone of today’s class can be seen on the video page along with all the other videos.
Last Ballet Class
Today was Kylie’s last ballet class and because I am on vacation this week, i was able to make it down to see her last class. Her and her classmates performed a 1 minute 30 second routine for all the parents that where there to show what that had learned and accomplished during the past eight weeks. I was able to take a successful video of this routine and I hope to get it up on the site soon. Tiffany has signed Kylie up for the next ballet session because Kylie has really enjoyed the past eight weeks and has asked to continue. At the end of this next session there will be an actual recital with costumes at a local school. I can’t wait to see how she does!
Begining Ballet
Tonight was Kylie’s first ballet class and I was very happy that I was able to get out of work on time to go and watch her. She did a wonderful job and seems to really enjoy it. There are a total of five girls in her class and they all seemed to get along right away. They started right in on learning the positins and practicing them. The instructor is very friendly and the children listen to him follow his lead very well. I attempted to record the class on my phone and thought the video seemed to take just fine, when i got home it turns out the video is corrupt and so i don’t have any footage. i am very upset about this, but unfortunetly there is nothing I can do. Hopefully I will be able to attend more of her classes, and if I do I will attempt to get another video.
Our little Ballerina
For a while now Kylie has said she wanted to join ballet, and today she finally got her wish. We needed to wait until she was old enough to join a class, find a class she could join, and find a way to fund it. All of those things came together today. Mommy found a class down river that she could join and Mimi said she would finance it. So that is what they did today. Kylie, Mommy and Mimi all went and got Kylie signed up for ballet; registered for the class, and purchased all the necessary garments. Kylie is super excited, and looks ready to dance! Her first class is going to be on June 23rd and I am hoping to be able to make it to see some of her classes.
They are going to be weekly at 4:30, but the problem is that they are an hour away from me, so even if I can get out of work early, I may not be able to make it down to the classes. I will try very hard to make it to at least one though, as i really want to be able to see her dance.
