Now please indulge me; this was a big moment for both of us and I have many pictures to share (I held back, I swear). It was so fun to watch; she did everything with so much concentration and enthusiasm.
Once she got home there was a costume change...
and then it was time for Baby Kiki's lesson.
(Is it bad that I secretly hope she wants to do this for a long time?)
Happy New year to the ballerina- here is a link to a friend of mine- who in turn has links to knitters that you may enjoy- I will write about Monica in my next blog and show you what she made- she is a great artist

I don't think you can have too many pictures of baby girl ballerinas. I will have to indulge you with a zillion shots of Beah sometimes. Remind me. I love how she has her tights pulled up to her chest! Beah is the opposite, she will only wear them under her belly. This makes it hard for the tights to stay up. Really.

No. It is not bad to want that. And good grief, post as many pictures as you want. I have to live somewhat through you. :) She is very adorable, and ballet *is* serious business.

Little ballerinas are so sweet.
I still remember Meghans first recital at the Rebecca Cohn. They were to wear party dresses and huge bows in their hair that the parents made. Of course I was the only one who made what the teacher wanted (probably the only one whio sewed!) and of course it fell over her eyes as they did their dance.
Our girls did highland for years ( Daddy plays the pipes) and Katelyn did every dance possible and taught and did competitive while in high school. Be careful what you wish for....it can take over your life!

Those pictures are taking me back to when I did ballet at that age. It didn't stick for me though, unfortunately.
And please, please tell me that they are trying to do "The Worm" in that one pic. Ha ha!
