I chassé


My first day of ballet class, and I absolutely LOVED it! Ever since the words "ballet class" were uttered, I have been asking about it every day. When the day finally came, I put on my ballet dress immediately and was too excited to snack. But I cried in the beginning of class because there was an audience of mommies in the room, so I retreated to Mommy's lap. Mommy feared that I'd be spending the rest of the 8 classes there. But by the third exercise, when we were to dance to "Wind the Thread..." which we sang at school, I stood up from Mommy's lap, joined the group, and had a big smile for the remainder of the class. This is the first time I have left Mommy's lap like this, so Mommy got all choked up seeing how I have really grown out of my shell and how totally happy I was.
