New Moves

One of the best parts of Tes being in ballet class, is seeing the new move she learned each week.  Sadly, I don't know enough about ballet to know if the names of the moves are correct, or if I am even supposed to call them "moves" but they sound good to me.  There are many nights that she has no interest in showing me anything from class, and I hear about it days later.  Today she was so eager to show me that she was trying to do the move in the car.

When we got home she demanded she leave on her leotard and tights to show me.  I cannot, for the life of me, remember the name of the move she showed me, but it was very cute, and she was very proud.  She then showed me several other moves she has learned in class.  I was amazed at how much she has retained, and how interested in it she has become.

The New Move
The best part was after dinner.  I had finally gotten her out of the leotard, I am trying to keep it stain-free, and she was back in a twirly dress.  She wanted to show me the right way to sit like a ballerina.  I smiled in amazement as she talked about posture, and gave me examples of bad posture and good posture.  Her exact words.  My poor mother drilled me on having good posture, and I still slump.  I guess she should have just signed me up for ballet.  After my beautiful lesson tonight, I will try to work harder at sitting like a ballerina.
