Ballerina

Today was Oly's last ballet class for the season, and parents were invited to finally watch.  She was so excited for an audience.

It only took her 5 tries to look away from the pom pom and at the camera.

With her school classmate Scarlett behind her, with the fabulous curls:

We took videos, but they're not much.  They're on our youtube channel for you diehards.

My Aunt Kathie sent me copies of pictures from when she and some of her sisters were ballerinas as girls.  They're dressed in fantastic costumes that my Grandmother sewed.  We framed a few for her room and Oly's fascinated by them.  She is so interested in these girls who are related to her who dance also!  I try to explain to her that they're not girls anymore, they're women who are older than Grandpa Mac.  This does not register in her brain.  She wants to dance with the girls. 

I'll see if I can scan them to show the blog.
