Morgan Elisabeth: First Ballet Lesson

First Ballet Lesson

I had a little tear in my eye yesterday evening when I took Morgan in for her very first ballet lesson! If you don't know, I was a ballerina for about 12 years, and met Morgan's godmother at ballet class in North Carolina. I miss it terribly and was so excited that Morgan has shown a little interest.

The first class went MUCH better than her first soccer practice. I wasn't allowed in the studio with her, so I sat outside with all the other mommies and watched. She was definitely shy at first, but participated (even if she did so with her arms crossed like in the second picture!). At the end she was having such a good time. I am excited for her. The studio we are going to right now doesn't do big recitals, which is good for the wallet but I am a little sad we won't have costumes or anything to dress her in. But this is a trial run and we'll see how she likes it!

(Sorry the pictures are fuzzy below....my camera was fighting with me on focusing!)

I LOVE this!! I wonder if one of those other little girls in her class is going to turn into a friend that she keeps throughout her life (smile.) What a cutie - I can't wait to see more of the little ballerina!!!!
