This year marks the beginnings of out of the home extracurricular activities and learning experiences. Preschool and ballet. Layla and I were both whirling with excitement as she donned her powder pink leotard and tights. Top knot bun in tow and her ever growing bare feet itching to learn coordinated movements. A few tears collected in my eyes as I welcomed the excitement of new things to come. My relationship with Layla continues to change as each new experience materializes. My heart felt pride and sadness when I watched her prance away from me and into the ballet studio, without a fleeting look of nerves in her eyes. She was completely prepared to let go of my hand and grasp onto the offerings of the amazing ballet studio that has been in practice for over 51 years. She loved every single minute of it and couldn't wait to show us her moves when we got home. She is such a dream.
