Finally.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She’s been waiting and waiting (or “loading and loading”, as she calls waiting – Can you tell she gets to use a very s-l-o-w computer at times?) for what probably felt like forever to her seven year old mind.\u00a0 And finally, today was the day of Grace’s first ballet class.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ready to head off to class.\u00a0 A little\u00a0nervous, but she still asked for her photo to be taken.<\/p>\n

\u00a0(Thanks to her Volunteer in China, she is a great model.\u00a0 She placed the flowers next to the window and sat down ready for me to take the picture.)<\/h6>\n

She was excited, but nervous.\u00a0 She watched the teacher closely and mimicked her well.\u00a0 First position, second position, all the way to sixth.\u00a0 Her favourite were the arm positions though.<\/p>\n

She looked up shyly and met my eyes a few times during class.\u00a0 She’d look away and then she’d glance back and give me a big smile.\u00a0 As parents we just love to see our kids thoroughly enjoying themselves.\u00a0 What a treat to be able to give Grace something as simple as this and know that her heart was filled with just a little bit of delight.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I’d say the day was a success!\u00a0 She told me that it was a lot of fun and a little bit hard.\u00a0 We’ll have to see what class number 2 brings.\u00a0<\/p>\n
