Beautiful Ballerina(s)

Aren't they cute all dressed up with toes pointed?
Kate doesn't have ballet flats so she figured her rain boots would due.



I love this one of them looking at each other.

Funny enough the one above is my most favorite. Too cute.


For about 3 years now Anna has wanted to be a ballerina. She loves to dance and whenever music is on in our house, which is often, she is found twirling and leaping around. Almost everybook she brings home from school or the library has something to do with ballet . We finally signed her up with a little friend from her school class and she started a few weeks ago. She takes this all VERY seriously and even insists that he hair be pulled back into a tight bun before class. In fact this week we were running a little late and didn't get her hair into a bun. When we got to her dance class she burst into tears because her hair wasn't like a ballerina. So I whipped out her pony tail and made a quick bun and then she was happy. Her teacher said she does a great job and pays very close attention and wants to do it exactly right. She is also taking tap which worried me that we would have constant tapping around but so far we haven't. With all the girls in our house you can't just have one ballerina, so Kate has also been very excited about ballet and has joined Anna on numerous occasions in the living room for some tutoring from Anna. The first day of class Kate had to have tight on and a leotard too. Kate also insisted her hair look "just like Annas." Kate was a little mad when we drop Anna off at class and she doesn't get to participate. Especially because at the beginning of class each girl gets two fairy wands to twirl around with and Kate things that is the greatest! We sure are lucky to have two and in the future 3 beautiful ballerinas.
