the babe as a ballerina

Ballet was good. The Babe was excited to get dressed into her special pink tights and special little leotard. I had bought a pink thing to put in her hair, it's like a little cover for a bun, so we did that too. She was excited about her pretty ballerina hair, and made me promise that we'll do it for every class.

When we got into class, there were about 7 little girls and some of them started running around and playing in the dance room. The Babe stood by me, but when I told her she could go play with the other girls, she ran off without hesitating. It was sweet to watch the little ones all dressed in pink, enjoying the dance room with the mirrored walls, discovering how they looked as they moved.

During class, I stayed in the waiting area and read a magazine. Every once in a while I would peek in the room to see what they were doing. Once, I caught them doing plies... The Babe sits all the way down! Later I saw them standing on one foot and placing their other foot by their knee. The Babe was not very good at this, but she looked like she was having fun. I don't mind if she's not good. Heck, I don't have the best balance, either. I just want her to have fun.

The Babe seemed to have a very good time and is excited to go back. She wore her leotard and tights all day. When her daddy asked her to show him what she learned in class she said she couldn't because her feet were too slippery. She wouldn't do any of it unless she had her special slippers on, LOL. She is very cute, and I think she likes it very much.
