Tiny Dancer


She was too sick to go to her first day of Preschool and Dance class last week.
But she didn't miss it this week!


When she got home she was tired!!!
So she chilled with Sesame Street and then after some melt downs fell asleep on the couch.
I guess she's still little....sometimes.
Notice her bag? I made that for Banana to take to dance class 10 years ago.
Banana gave it to Sweet Cheeks to use and she absolutely loves it!
When it's not carrying ballet shoes and such it carries a plethora of toys
Star Wars guys, cars, Polly Pockets, Little People, Spiderman's arm.....just to name a few.

When MDH asked her what she learned at dance she said,
"A-bell-a-bay"
(While standing on her tip toes and her hands and arms rounded above her head.)
Translation: Releve' : In ballet the raising onto the toe or toes or the tip of the toe.

"A-pea-a-bay"
(While bending her knees, heels of her feet together, arms and hands rounded at waist level.)
Translation: Plie': A bending of the knees outward by a ballet dancer with the back held straight. 

That's my girl!
