My little prima ballerina...

Today was Kate's first ballet class. I am not sure who was more excited me or her. For those who don't know, dancing was always a huge part of my life until I was in a bad car accident that changed everything. I always dreamed of a little girl who would love to dance as much as I did. I am not going to force her at all - i never did with brooke but....if she loves it, well that is pretty cool with me!

She was so excited to put on her leotard and ballet tights. She loved the sparkley hair gel and bow clips. We went to class and she made a couple of friends. The teacher took them off to a small studio. Some of the moms, including me of course, went outside. There is a window with a curtain that has some prime peep spots for viewing. This is a fairly new studio so there isn't a big sign outside just on the window. I am guessing it looked a little more than odd to have 4 or 5 moms laying on the side walk peeping into a window. Oh well, we do what we do, huh? One of the other moms said that Kate was clearly the best, she may have been fishing for compliments for her daughter but without hesitation I agreed. Not a big fan of compliment fishers and what could I say, the lady was right - Kate is a natural! I wonder how early the ABT takes applications??

Here are the pics you have been waiting for - she seems to have one "signature" move but I am confident it will evolve over time.
