Photos of the rare North American Ballet Loon
1. It snowed. It is pretty:
2. When you have a 4 1/2-year-old who is beside herself with excitement about the fact that today is the day she finally (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) starts ballet lessons, it can be difficult to get said loony-bird to stand still long enough for you to get a decent picture of her in her finery.
That teacher, by the way, deserves a Congressional Medal. I feel like I white-knuckle it through my Monday karate class sometimes, which is all 6-10-year-olds, some of whom have the attention span of a gnat, and all of whom seem to have the uncanny ability to wander into their classmate’s kicking range at inopportune times. Handling ten 3 and 4-year-old girls who want to grow up to be ballerinas, though: Oh. My. God.








I wish I could have seen her. It must have been very funny to watch. Beautiful snow in the backyard!

Oh I so totally love the cuteness of Eliza in her ballet clothes. She has gotten so big since I;ve seen her last!! It snowed here for all of a few hours but didn’t stick - not as pretty but I guess less shoveling.

The snow is pretty, and Eliza is ADORABLE. Love the fancy duds!
