In the meantime (and starting with more recent events), Emilia had her first day of ballet class today. She is doing ballet through our local Y and has half-hour classes from now through the Spring. There's even a recital at the end of it all. Her pals Kyrie, Kate & Mia (from playgroup) are also doing ballet, however we couldn't be in the same class with them because of her school schedule. However, we did know that Emilia's friend/classmate from school, Ginna, signed up for her same class. Little did we know (and what a fortunate and wonderful surprise it was) that the other two girls from Emilia's preschool are ALSO in the SAME class! HURRAH! Emi was thrilled (especially since the nerves were starting to set in - performance anxiety perhaps?) to see some familiar faces.
tentative first steps in to the class.

still tentative - getting the lay of the land
nice face emi - the black smudge under her eye is not a result of a bar fight... someone got a hold of some mascara.
l to r - ginna, emi & betsy (all go to st. john's together along with natalie, not pictured). they are the only 4 girls in their class at school - how funny is that?!
doing a couple of laps around the room before class as a warm-up?
emi is, by far, the smallest/youngest in the class - technically not even old enough to be IN the class since she's not quite 2 1/2.
*i have no idea what's happening with the layout portion of the pics - am using a new program, so perhaps that's it? bear with me!*
