Anna | First Ballet Class In Photos
Last week Anna attended her first ballet/tap class.
Her enthusiasm was awesome. She was so excited to pack up a ballet bag that included slippers and tap shoes and head to class.
There's no doubt I was really, really excited too. I got to watch her through a window and loved seeing her experience the motions and follow directions and watch the other girls.
She's totally ready to go again this week.
Love that she's getting to do something that is just for her.
I'm getting excited about the upcoming Craft & Hobby Association trade show later this month. I'll be attending for the first time since Anna was born - time is flying.
Today I wanted to share a quick sneak peek of some brads from Elizabeth Kartchner's Dear Lizzy Neapolitan line for American Crafts. That little fabric brad with the camera is super cute. Her new line features 22 papers, including a darling stitched ruffle paper & three patterned vellum papers. Complementing the papers are a variety of embellishments from painted wood buttons, epoxy stickers, chipboard word banners, embroidered brads & woodgrain chipboard pieces. Other new additions joining in on the fun are Flutterbys (sewn butterfly & pendant banners), a Roller & Phrase Stamp and Paper Pinwheels.
Cuter than Cute!!!!! Nothing like little girls in ballet shoes and dance class! And Anna is just scrumptious! I have boys so whenever I mention dance class and if they would be interested..they look at me like I'm speaking a foreign language...nice! xo

Is there anything cuter than little girls in pink leotards?!!! Wait until her first recital. She will think she is beautiful in costume, and you will think she's a brilliant brilliant dancer, as is a mommy's right. Can't wait for more pictures.

Little girls in dance class are just about the cutest thing ever. I've enjoyed taking my daughter to dance the past few years. :)

those twins turned 19 a few months ago.

Oh, how I always wanted to be a dancer! Even if Anna never becomes a prima ballerina, she will learn wonderful, life-long skills :-) Allie, did you take dance lessons when you were young?

There's nothing sweeter than small girls with big dreams dancing around! My DD (now 12 - how time has flown) didn't want to do a recital (she was very shy at that age and still doesn't really like being singled out...) so I don't have many pictures of her dancing, but I do have those memories of how fun it was to spy and how sweet she was. You'll both be so glad that you were able to be there to experience and document this exciting time for Anna!

You are so lucky to have photos of Anna's ballet. My daughter's professional ballet school had a "NO PHOTOS" policy that was strictly adhered to, for class as well as performances. I think it was because some of the students were the kids of famous/weathly people who didn't want their kid's photo to end up in People magazine. Although I took photos of my daughter at home in her costumes before and after her performances, I was sad to never capture images of her in action during that time of her life.
