First Ballet Class

I took Audrey to her first ballet class Wednesday morning and it was so much fun! She was so excited!! I was a little nervous about how she would react because I had to leave her in the class alone. I could watch her through a two-way mirror but she couldn't see me. We talked a lot about what would happen at the class and what she should expect once she got there. Audrey usually does well if she knows what is going on. Her sweet Daddy talked to her about the new friends she would meet, the new teacher, the new building, etc. He even helped her come up with what to "say" to a new friend. I think all that talking paid off because she did wonderfully!!

We got to the studio about 15 minutes early so we could meet her teacher, Mrs. Lori, and to tour the studio. I wanted to show Audrey the two-way mirror so she would know I was still there even though she couldn't see me. At one point during the class, she ran up to the mirror and looked right at it and said, "Hi, Mommy!". I loved it! :)

Because she was on the other side of the mirror, I didn't get many good pictures. It was hard to take through the glass-- if I used my flash then I just got a picture of my reflection. These are taken on manual with me holding my breath to try to keep the camera still.
