Ballet

Avery started ballet class last week. The class was a gift from my uncle Scott for her birthday. I found a class at a community center and signed her up for he 8 week session. She made it through about 10 minutes before crying and saying she was too tired. I was able to convince her to go back and try some more. She lasted another 15 minutes or so and then was in meltdown mode. I should have been more prepared for this as this is how she typically reacts to new situations. She takes a long time to warm up and feel comfortable. We got a ballet dvd from the library so she can practice some of the techniques and I have been talking with her about it a lot so hopefully she will feel more comfortable at the next class. But, after we got home from class, it was all she could talk about so I know she is interested and excited about it, just a little frightened because it is something new.
