Ballet

Emma had her first ballet class today. She loved it. After she got out of class, she wanted to watch the older girls dance. This was a class of teenage girls and one boy. Once we got in the car, she asked me if the older girls had a prince in their class. It took me a while to figure out that she was referring to the one boy in the class. I tried my hardest to explain that he was learning ballet just like the girls. I think there was some refusal on her part to accept the idea that he wasn't a prince and just a boy learning ballet. Gradually she came to acceptance.
