Last Dance

When I first put Tali in dance, I did it hoping to help with behavioral issues she was having.  During the summer, I had put her in a dance class.  She kept leaving halfway through the class so I told Tali I wasn't going to put her in anymore dance classes if she couldn't stay in her class.  She kept telling me that she just wanted to be with me.  It may be obvious to everyone, but it wasn't to me that she just wanted to literally spend time with me.  She loves to dance, but just her own way.  Anyway, she had BEGGED me to let her take a tap and ballet combo class.  So we bought everything she needed for the class...which wasn't cheap.  Three weeks later, we still are having issues with her leaving class.  Today she had given the instructor some problems and we thought that it wasn't fair to the teacher, students or parents because her teacher couldn't keep chasing Tali around.  So as I was talking to a friend, she mentioned that maybe Tali literally just wanted some mommy/daughter time.  I decided to ask Tali if dance was too much for her and if she just wanted to spend time with me.  I was shocked to hear that she did want to send time with me and quit dance.  At least I was able to get one last adorable picture of her in her dance outfit.

I just love this sweet, adorable girl!
