Last night we had so much fun at our dance lessons. We went in early and went to the beginner's dance class before our lesson, and got exposed to 2 more types of dance...the merengue and the tango. That puts the total number of dances we've been exposed to at about 6...in 4 lessons. We're finally learning turns too, so that should make our practice sessions at home more fun. (We got 3 different ballroom dance albums on iTunes, and the other night moved the table out of the way in the kitchen, then practiced for about an hour or so.) Our teacher told us she could really see evidence of our practicing in the way we moved together too...more in synch, more smoothly, I followed better.... We still are (as she puts it) "playing patty cake"...meaning we join palms between us. No dance hold yet...but hopefully soon. Another thing that she noticed that she said was HUGE was that we consistently were on our own finding not just the beat, but also starting on the one (as opposed to another beat). Pretty cool. Now we've just got to figure out how we're gonna pay for it until we get the inheritance coming our way in a couple months.
Its sooo nice to be able to get dressed up, get out of the house and just be a couple on a date without worrying about the girls. We found a neighbor in high school that they adore who is really good with them. Minime had been having such a hard time whenever we went out, crying and clinging....until Shannon. Now she's fine...last night she gave me a hug and kiss then went over to Shannon, then LK hugged and kissed me, then she said to Minime didn't she want to hug and kiss me? (LK hadn't seen Minime hug and kiss me just before.) She hugged me, but said she'd already kissed me and didn't want to again! Talk about feeling put in my place!
