Sophie Lu's 1st Ballet Recital (w/ video)!

Sophie Lu and her best friend Megan both got to be kitty cats in their first ballet recital (held in a classroom at their preschool)! They were both sooo serious!

This shot cracks me up- it doesn't even look like ballet- more like she was boogying down!

And this is the shot of the day. I like to call it, "Sitting like a proper little lady"!!!

So here is some video footage of the recital. I edited it and cut out about half of the performance so it wouldn't be too long. The video was shaky because I was holding that camera in my left hand while taking photos with my right hand. Oh, and of course I could barely see through my tears! I'm so proud of my little "Rina". :)

Slip & Sliding Sophie Lu

My Sophie Lu is so joyful, and it's so easy to get lost in her joy... Her smile always lifts my spirit and warms my heart~

Sophie Takes Ballet!

Here Sophie Lu is at home just minutes before leaving for her very first ballet class. With a little help from Mommy, this is her first plie! She was sooooo excited!



Sophie & her best friend Megan (so sweet together)! Until she goes to Kindergarten (in a year), Sophie will take ballet at her pre-school in an informal setting. After that she will take proper ballet classes at the ballet academy (same teacher, though). She's enjoys her ballet classes so much- she really seems to take ballet seriously! She also loves classical music and starts dancing whenever she hears it. Sophie Lu is very excited because she recently got a piano and should be starting piano lessons soon as well! :)
