I've tried to put music to this, and can't seem to figure it out. You must watch her dancing though, she'll make you smile, maybe laugh, and you'll have a better day I'm sure of it.

She's not in classes anymore, preschool 5 days a week is enough for any little girl. She misses it terribly though, and we'll put her back in when the time is right.

Sophia's First Ballet Class

This school year has been hard for Sophia. She's the only BIG person (just ask her) who doesn't go to school, and it's not fair (again, just ask her). She begged, and begged, and on the day I bought the boys some new school shoes, and she saw ballet slippers in the same section, she and I knew the answer. Ballet.

She's in with a class of 3-5 year old girls, and the teacher Miss Kim said that the first day would be more like a tryout for her, and that the tuition for this session could be refunded if she wasn't ready.

Sophia did beautifully! She let me style her hair (buns and pony's only).


She carried her slippers till we arrived in the studio.


She followed Miss Kim's every move and request with the slower reflexes of a 2 year old, but to her very best ability.


I could tell the whole time that she was trying her hardest to please her new teacher, and prove that she could be with the older girls, and her efforts pushed her through.


She's happy!


I'm sure you'll see more of her leotard collection.
