Ballet Through the Window

Oh my goodness I have so many posts, lined up ready to go.  I'm sorry if this is blog-overload, but prepare yourself for about a post/day for the next couple weeks. 



My energy level during the first trimester was approximately zero.  So even though I took some photos here and there, it seems I ran out of energy in the evening to post them! 



So some of the upcoming posts will include pictures from the last 2 months.  But actually, this post is all current.  These were taken yesterday at ballet lessons.



Lucy's teacher (Miss Michelle) is somewhat hard core in the sense that she doesn't really like moms standing at the window watching (I'm told this is not unusual). 




So all these photos were taken, standing at the window (or through the doorway during potty breaks), in stealth mode.  That's why there's glare in some of them. 



Lucy seems to really enjoy the class while she's in it. Later she usually tells me she didn't enjoy it at all. 


But during the class, she really seems to be into it. 



She's in there with two little friends, Chloe (from gymnastics) and Ashlyn. 



I showed Lucy these pictures, and she told me, "Chloe always laughs, and me too!"

 

Lucy cried when it was her turn to show off her turn.  I couldn't hear what was going on, but Miss Michelle had her come sit beside her--I guess to gather her courage.  
 

She didn't seem to love taking her turn, but she did it. 
 

Here is a rare, non-hanging-on-mommy picture I managed to get of Oliver.  Despite the toys I bring with me, the boys usually just want to hang on my legs during the class.



I'm glad it's just a summer class. 

 

I don't know if we'll continue in the Fall. 


But it sure is fun seeing her be a little ballerina for an hour every week.
