Ballet!

Today was an exciting day--MG took her first ballet class! Although I have been wanting to wait until she was older before starting any extra activities, a great opportunity came about for her to take a combination ballet and tap class once a week. MG has been talking about dance ever since we left camp, begging me to let her take a class. Since she got out of bed this morning, she has been telling every one she sees, "today is my first dance class." From my friend who took her to school, to her teachers and friends at school, to the college students at our house, to the dentist and dental hygenist that she saw today, everyone was made aware that she would be going to ballet today. It has been so fun as a mom and a former dancer to witness her excitement. After her class with her teacher, Ms. Kristina, MG has been showing me "her moves." Her teacher said that she worked really hard in class. What a joy she is to me, especially in her enthusiasm and zest for life. I am so proud to be her mom!
