First Day of Ballet School!

This fall the girls started at The Little Gym! I was so excited to start them in a ballet, tap and gymnastics class once a week. Once the winter starts, I will also take them for a gymnastics class too. They seem to really LOVE the gymnastics part of the class.

One of my favorite photos!

I chose The Little Gym for many reasons. One, it is close to our house. Two, it is VERY reasonably priced. Like, holy cow, the discounts for having triplets, sibling-discount, ect, make it SO affordable. Not to mention, if you sign up for multiple classes, you get a discount on those classes too. I feel like I need to pay them more, but shhh, don't tell them that. :) Three, the classes are small. Four, they are not super strict on anything. You can borrow tap shoes or ballet shoes from their stash of hundreds. You can wear anything you want. It's not all uptight and strict like some dance studios are. I really wanted something where they can just express themselves, get some energy out and have fun! For goodness sake, they are only three! Five, if you miss a class, you can make it up by just calling and picking another class for your child to attend. Super easy. Six, the classes are an HOUR long. And I mean a FULL HOUR. Seven, the teachers are SO sweet and SO fun! Eight, they have "practice" times during the week, which I can bring all the girls and they can all "practice" and play! Nine, I can use "ballet class" as leverage for good behavior all week. :) So you get the gist, I really am happy with my decision to start them in classes. 

The girls are just loving the classes and I am loving being able to watch them improve and learn each week!

C, N, M - BEST FRIENDS!!!!!!

Another super awesome benefit...right before the first class started, ANOTHER set of GGG triplets walked in. My mouth literally dropped. They are two identical and one fraternal just like my girls and almost exactly one year older. Her mom and I have so much in common, and it's so cool seeing another set of triplet girls! 

In the winter, Emily will also start a class when she turns three and I may separate (ekkk!) the triplets and put one with Emily. We will see. Emily got to join in with her sisters during "Bring a Friend Week" and she of course loved it to pieces! Nana and Grandma have come to many of the classes too to watch the girls, which of course the girls love too!
