Looking like a ballerina

At the end of each year my daughters ballet teacher holds an "open class" where parents can watch the lesson and see what their kids get up to. Last year I wasn't able to attend, but today I could. I enjoyed watching the kids in action, and my daughter is getting on very well.

My husband, who attended last year as well as this year, says he can see a huge improvement in what she's doing compared to last time.

The best news of all is that when she goes back in September she's moving up a class, and will be starting at 10am rather than 9am - we'll all get a bit of a lie-in!
