My daughter has been begging me to sign her up for dance since last spring. She is the one that asked to take dance, and honestly, I was going to wait a year or two before signing her up, but she was insistent. After I signed her up, it was time to get dance shoes. During high school and college, I worked at a dance wear store and taught dance for 5 years. Over the years, I fit lots and lots of girls for their first pair of ballet shoes and taught lots and lots of girls in their first dance class. Because of this experience, I felt that full circle moment and wanted to take Lauren to the store and studio that I had so many wonderful memories at to get her first pair of ballet shoes. Of course Lauren invited Mama J and Papa J to go with us. We also had to bring the camera to document this occasion.
On the way to get dance shoes!
Look at all of the dance stuff!!
Looking at leotards.
When I helped Lauren try on her dance clothes, she said, "Oh! I look so pretty!" When I looked at her, I started to cry. My baby was in her first ballet clothes.

Which one do we like the best?
