Ballet

Claire received ballet classes for a Christmas gift. We thought this would be a good activity to try instead of gymnastics again. However, Claire is a little uneasy trying new things. When we talked about the class she said she did not want to go. But while playing dress-up recently, she came across some little skirts a neighbor had given her. I told her she could wear them to ballet and her face lit up. That was the ticket.

On the drive there she requested that we ask the teacher's and all the students' names upon arrival. She was a little timid, but followed instructions to begin the class.

It didn't take her long to warm up. Twirling around with a bunch of girls in pink tutus is right up her alley. There is also a long mirror in the room that enthralls all the girls.

Claire very much enjoyed Miss Cece, who has been teaching for 41 years! Claire asked if she could go to class every day.

Kyle had fun hiding in some lockers and exploring a few classrooms with toys and pet guinea pigs. I'll be excited when he can start some rec classes of his own.
