Ballet

Katherine now takes ballet. As a parent, I've never felt prouder than watching her participate in her first class. She was absolutely mortified for the first 10 minutes. She went in the studio, but refused to move or talk. The instructor, Miss Denise, handled it perfectly -- ignored Katherine and taught the class as if Katherine wasn't sitting in the middle of the floor. After a while, Katherine got up and started following the other girls, running, jumping, carrying a bean bag on her head. By the end of the class, Katherine was sitting next to the teacher, hanging on to her every word. I most want a picture of this -- the expression on Katherine's face, with her big blue eyes, looking up to the teacher.
The above picture is from yesterday, her 2nd class.
