Our Sweet Little Life: Ballerina Girl (the Halloween Edition)

So remember that post of Libby's very first dance class, where she was looking like a pretty "bad a$$" (as Holly put it) ballerina, just standing there watching everybody and not doing a whole lot of participating?

It's been a few weeks now and she is definitely getting the hang of things. She is listening to her teacher Miss Tracy, participating in classes, and practicing at home. (Who knew first position was so hard for a toddler?) It's fun to watch.

Wednesday's class this week was the first mini-recital for the girls. They got to come dressed up in their Halloween costumes and performed three Halloween routines for parents and guests at the end of class. It was beyond adorable.

I'm telling you, my mini-Minnie Mouse (her costume choice came as a complete surprise to me...I was expecting Rapunzel or Belle) is turning out to be a pretty good ballerina. And she's cute to boot!

Sing and dancing to "Three Little Witches"

We practice this LOTS...slow, slow, fast, fast, fast. Other foot!

Grammy and Poppy came to watch her first "performance." So did Grandma Cathy. And her mama sat between them all, snapping pictures,with joyful tears of love and pride and a million other happy emotions pouring down her cheeks. I can't help it...I'm a sap!
