Dancing Queen

I have already blogged recently that Laurens dance classes have started up again for the new term. This week she has done Monday ~ modern and tap, Wednesday ~ Hip Hop and then this morning she was back at her ballet classes. She has a new uniform for the modern and tap ~ a kingfisher blue and black leotard and black jazz pants. For her ballet she has now moved up to grade one ~ which means that she still wears the Royal Academy of Dance leotard ~ but she no longer wears the voile overskirt ~ she now wears a pale blue waist elastic instead (which is basically an elastic belt!!). The best news of all is that the classes don't start until 11am ~ which means I can have an extra half hour in bed (yippeeee!!!!) ......a whole half hour ~ what a treat that is!!

The weather has gone mad today ~ no rain ~ no grey ~ no cold ~ but warm and glorious sunshine ~ I have decided that the world has officially gone mad! We have spent the day just mooching about. We had to go to town as Lauren has been invited to a birthday party and we needed to get a card and present and wrapping paper etc ~ then we came home and the kids played out while I steam cleaned the sofa and the livingroom carpet!

Lauren decided that there was no way that she was venturing outside this morning in JUST her leotard ~ so she opted to wear her full Uniform ~ she is a member of the Southern Arts Academy ~ and here is my little dancing queen in her full uniform ~ all ready to head off to her ballet class!!

I will post some photos of her other uniforms tomorrow ~ she loves wearing them ~ but actually convincing her to get changed into them and have photos taken is a bit of a task!! (I will try bribing her with chocolate ha ha ~ that usually works!!!) XxxX
