While Sugar Plum Fairies Danced in Their Heads

My Little Ballerina

Since high school, I've dreamed of having a little girl in ballet. I couldn't wait to dress her up and neatly tuck her hair away into a little bun.  

Lucy just finished her first ballet/tap class yesterday! It was such a joy to see her in there stretching her little legs and practicing her pliés. 

There were (several) moments where the teacher had to remind Lucy to listen and to participate. After all, she was one of the youngest and this is her first organized class of any kind. But overall, she did a fantastic job and she looked forward to "dancing school" every week! We start another section of dance next week. This time it is going to be a ballet/creative dance class... Lucy really didn't like tap dancing on account she was scared she was going to slip and fall. :)
