Miriam's first ballet lesson

For her birthday this year, Grandpa Mike and Grandma Lee Anne bought her a ballet tutu and a pair of ballet shoes since she has recently decided that she wants to be a ballet dancer when she grows up.  And very fortunately for us, we found a place nearby that offers lessons for a little over $5 per lesson!

At the moment, the ballet class she is in is mostly girls between 6-9 years of age who have all been taking ballet classes for at least a couple of years.  Supposedly they are soon going to be starting a class for 3-4 year olds who are just beginning that Miriam can switch to.  But this class she attended is also the only one with other English-speaking kids, so we'll see how well she likes her new class.

I was actually quite impressed by how well she did all considering.  The teacher didn't really explain what the exercises were or how to do them since all the other kids were obviously very familiar with them.  So Miriam just sort of joined in as best as she could.  I was proud of her for having a good attitude and trying to hard!

She will now proudly tell anyone who will listen that she is now a real ballet dancer.  Yes you are my sweet little girl!
