Dance!

Yesterday was the long awaited first day of dance class for Rachel! She was so excited! We signed her up for classes at Gulf to Lake Baptist Church's program in Crystal River. There and 4 other little girls in her class. It was her first time doing anything away from me, except for church, so I was wondering how she would do. I've always wondered how she acts when I am not with her, and I got to look in through a window to see how she was doing. She did very well when the music was on and she was supposed to be doing certain movements. When the music was off and the teacher was talking or instructing, however, she was a little less attentive. She wanted to tell her own story or do her own twirls! It was really cute though.

Rachel has such a vivid memory that if one thing is mentioned, she makes the connection with something else related to that. Unless you were there and remember it too, you may think she was the most random kid there is! For example, the teacher was telling them how to do a curtsy (which Rachel was a pro at) and Rachel started saying "one time, I went to Disney World and all the princesses were on the stage..." The teacher was probably wondering what in the world Rachel was talking about or why, but I just smiled and knew it was just her little amazing memory at work.
