First Ballet Class.

She's been waiting for almost year.

Last fall Lupine heard about ballet from a friend who was taking a class. Dresses? Dancing? Fancy shoes? My girl was obsessed. She wanted to take a class - right away. We decided to wait a year. (To me even three and a half seems young for taking a class. I wanted to make sure she really wanted to dance before she hurried off into anything.)

But she didn't stop talking about it. She even made up a song that she sang with gusto, called "I Want to Dance Ballet." A year later the passion hasn't faded a bit.

Yesterday it was finally time.

Amidst a group of strangers plus a couple of friends, Lupine finally got to dance ballet. (And tonight? She's already thinking about next Tuesday.)

No, you won't find me feeding into the myth of perfection, but you can count on me to show up real and raw with lessons and beauty that I find in the ordinary.
