Shoes, Shoes, Skip for My Shoes
Umm… dance shoes, that is. And I suppose one should really dance for those.
Not that I’m a great dancer. But my daughter is a very enthusiastic dancer. She was quite upset when she found out she wasn’t getting ballet lessons this summer. Schedule just didn’t work out. Good thing I haven’t bought dance shoes recently.
Dancing is a fun activity, especically for little girls, who often take to it just naturally. The hardest part about ballet for my daughter was behaving exactly as her very serious teacher wanted her to.
Getting her shoes each time took a bit of shopping. It was something my mother-in-law handled, as she’s the one who decided to start her in classes anyhow. But now it’s a pretty strong interest for my daughter, and my rule is that if we can find a way to do it, she can pick her activities. Sometimes things don’t work out, as happened this time, but we do our best.
I figure the next time we need shoes and such I’ll probably aim for online shopping. So much easier than shopping in person, although you always have to balance the cost of shipping and the prices.
And of course there’s always the temptation of trying to get my husband to go for ballroom dancing lessons. We’ve talked about it, just never quite done it.
