String Bean and the New Truck Book

Yes, Hailey started dance again. She took dance last winter and quit after two months. Actually I quit because I was done with the drama before about her tights etc. She asked and asked this summer to take dance again. So I signed her up and she promised all would be good. So after a large registration fee, new tap shoes, new leotard, new tights, and 1st month's payment it was time for the first day. Tears, wailing, knashing of teeth and many attempts to rip off tights later she arrived and I was sooooo mad at myself for giving in again. Each week she has a great time while she is there and is in a good mood afterwards. I told her she has to go for the full month I am paid up. So before class she kept clarifying, "So I only have to go two more times?" Then after class, "Maybe I will go eight more times." My prediction for before class next week, " So I only have to go one more time?" Who knows how the dance saga will end. Will my cute little string bean ever become accustomed to tights? The conclusion will come at the end of week four.

Meanwhile, my easy going child wanted a picture taken with his new book. He has a tractor book already that he has loved but it does not compare with the truck book. He shows it to everyone and thinks it is the best thing ever.
