1st grade, Dance Class, and where not to practice

Natasha has has some really excited things going on lately. She started 1st grade and is loving it. She loves eating lunch at school, and having recess twice a day.

She also had her first day of dance last week. She is taking a combo class for one hour a week where she is learning tap, jazz, and ballet. It is a really cute class and she loved it.

Unfortunately, she learned the hard way that you shouldn't practice your new dance moves in the shower. She hit the soap dish on the way down and ended up with 14 stitches.

The doctor told her over and over that she was the bravest girl in the hospital. She was a real trooper at the ER, and didn't complain at all while she was getting her stitches. She was given a purple bear by the hospital staff, and mom and dad gave her the choice of anything she wanted for dinner, a hot dog at Sonic, and a hot apple pie at Mcdonalds.

Ouch! I better stop practicing my dance moves in the shower -- the last thing I need is 14 stitches!! Although I think it would be worth it if I got a purple bear, corndog, and an apple pie =). Seriously though, that is a great story!
