Ballet Class

Clara had her first ballet class today.  Thankfully she is all better after a week-long cold.  She had a wonderful time.  The class has about 12 little girls, all 3 years old.  She will be doing ballet and tumbling for one hour a week now through May.  I was pleased that Clara followed instruction pretty well (or at least as well as the majority of the little girls).  They learned first position, how to plie, and danced like different kinds of animals (cat, frog, snake, monkey, etc).  But perhaps the highlight of starting ballet was getting to go shopping for the wardrobe.  The class specified the tutu, tights, and shoes so all of the girls will match for their recital later this winter.  They were adorable.

All ready for class

 

 After class we enjoyed the first cool day of the season by going out on the back patio for some bubble blowing and trike riding.
