Ballet Day

Sage started ballet today! She was so excited too. She wanted to wear her outfit to school today, but I told her that I would change her into it when I picked her up. Parents can't sit in the actual class, which is so sad because I would LOVE to see, but I understand. She has been moving and shaking ever since she came home. She had to wear her leotard all day too. During class, the teacher walked out for a minute, and I asked how she was doing, and she said, "She's doing great. She's in there stretching." HA! I was cracking up.

Then there is the part about sitting in there with other moms. I don't mind, but for some reason I felt like I didn't belong. Not that I'm making fun of them, but they all had 'mom jeans,' sweats, EASTLANDS, tennis shoes, and other attire that I never foresee myself wearing. It seemed that some were eyeing me, but I didn't feel inappropriately dressed! The topic of conversation for a solid 10 minutes was....wait for it....mayonnaise. "I love it!" "I can't stand it!" "Really? Not even chicken salad?!" "No I can't even handle the smell." Then the topic of tofu came up. "What is it? I've never had it." Not thinking, I jumped in, "I actually love tofu. It's a meat substitute." Suddenly, I exist! "Really? How do you cook it? What do you put it in? Is it true it takes on the flavor of whatever you cook it in?" I answered, "Well you can put it in whatever you want." More questions, "Where do you get it? So you don't eat meat?" Um, yeah. But then one very sweet mom (they really were all sweet...well most) goes, "Bring us some tofu recipes next week." Oh but she didn't just say it once. She told me like 3 times. HA! YEAH, you got it sister. Let me get out my book of recipes. I will send her to the place with the best carry out.

Aside from all of that, I think Sage is really going to love dance or "the ballet," as she says. I tried to video her on my camera, but for some reason it's not uploading as video. I'll try to work on that because she is dancing with all her heart!
