Ballet

My little ballerina! We've been wanting to put Lily in a ballet class since she was 2 and the day has arrived. She got a class for Christmas from Nana and yesterday we did a little ballet-class-hopping to choose the right one. :) We also got a YMCA membership from my mom, so we were thinking it would make sense to have her take ballet there, but we just fell in love with Jo Emery School of Dance right here on 6th Ave, just up the street. Ever since we moved here, we've wanted Lily to take ballet there, but we figured it was too expensive. When we found out it was pretty reasonable, we decided to give it a try. Well it was a great class, her friend Isabella from school is in the class, which really boosted Lily's confidence, her teacher is Jo (Jo Emery), there are only 5 girls in the class, its really the real deal. We'll get some more pictures up here next time we get to view a class, these were unfortuneatly mostly blurry, although I think we may have figured out our blurry problem, just not in time for ballet. Anyways, we're very excited about this new chapter in Lily's life. Lily did such a wonderful job listening to her teacher, paying attention, folloing along. I really was so proud of her. She was scared in the beginning, but she really caught on quick. She said her favorite part was the skipping, those are the pictures that look like she's running. Her classes will be Saturday morning and hopefully it will make us slow down a little and have a little more family time. Something that I'm dreaming about today :(. Well here are the pics, there's kind of a lot, but she's just so precious! Thanks to all my loyal readers/viewers, I love you!

That is just too cute. Lily is like a little sugar plum fairy. Can't wait to see her in a tutu.
What a great present from Nana and that looks like a really cool class/school.
