"Baby Ballet"
We are about to head out to Mariel's second ballet class, and I realized that I never posted the promised picture from the first one. There she is, proudly showing her new friend one of the dolls they use as a prop and very clearly NOT paying any attention to the teacher. Of course, once I looked at the picture again, I realized that not a single child is paying attention to the teacher. They did perk up once jumping, twirling, hopping like a bunny and so on commenced. The only problem that we encountered during ballet class was getting Mariel to leave. The older girls had come in and began stretching at the barre while the little ones finished up, and she was quite sure that she should join them. We will see how we do today.
