One Week Later

After multiple weeks of struggle, we had a breakthrough at ballet this morning. Before class, Amelia not only said she was going to dance, but also that I could watch her on camera. That alone would have been great after it being a major issue for her the last few weeks. It was dicey for the first few seconds of class and then out of the blue Amelia started participating. She was jumping, walking on her toes, even doing some work on the ballet bar. Meggan and I went from grumpy parents who didn't really want to go to gushing pageant parents. I mean, it wasn't like we stood in the back of class and cheered and Meggan didn't choreograph moves from on the bar or anything. We were far too proud of her to do something that would embarrass her. That would be ridiculous. Okay, truth be told, I might have run out and hugged her if they didn't lock us out of the room.
