Clara had been asking me for a few months to take ballet lessons. So in January, we decided we could do it and enrolled her in a little class. It was a really great class for her--very small with a patient, encouraging teacher.
Her recital was a week or so ago. We really didn't know how she would do, based on previous experiences in front of audiences.
But she did
awesome.
On stage performing--the girls danced to a classical arrangement of "Tale as Old as Time" from Beauty and the Beast and were dressed in yellow as little "Belles."
The fact that the entire dance lasted about one and a half minutes probably helped.
After her performance.
There were some funny, typical moments as well. What is Clara doing here, you might ask? Using her rose as a blaster, of course. Her teacher, Ms. Zilda, is in front.
Hooray for Daddy's little girl. (Clara is reading this and just told me, "BIG girl you mean, Mama!")
Striking a cool pose.
She was so proud of herself, which was the best part.
However, she has decided she no longer wants to do ballet. Now she wants to do gymnastics or karate. We will see what the fall brings.
Love it!! What a beautiful ballerina! Tell her "good job" from us :). You're looking great, too--I can't believe you have only a few more weeks. It seems like other ladies' pregnancies fly by, whereas mine seem to last forever :)...
ReplyDeleteShe looks adorable! Glad she had fun. The blaster is pretty hilarious.
ReplyDeleteHooray for your little/big dancer! I love the pictures. These ballet performances are always the sweetest thing. They just melt a mama's heart. That's wonderful that she handled the performance so well.
ReplyDeleteYou are such a good mom...If I was Clara I would totally pick karate!
