The Making of a Ballerina

Rather than lounging around all day enjoying those lazy days of summer inside...
















Grace has an intensive summer schedule filled with playdates, swimming lessons and a 90 minute ballet, art and gym class twice a week. (Talk about overscheduling kids these days!) Anyhoo, Grace needed the proper ballet attire in order to "feel" and "dance" like the little ballerina she is, so mommy promptly got onto Danskin's website and ordered her a perfect little leotard and skirt for her ballet lessons. And then it was time to get ready for class!

First, we got into the tights....















Then the leotard...
















Then the skirt...















Then it was time to get our hair out of our face so as not to distract from learning the proper ballet positions...
















And now that we had the requisite dress code down pat, a little quiet time alone with our books to get ourselves mentally prepared to be a perfect little ballerina...















Pictures from class to come....

ohmigod, I am dying over here! Grace looks adorable, and you are making me incredibly excited to purchase all things girly, in anticipation of ballet lessons, etc for our new monkey.

And wow, does Grace have a busy summer planned! Hope we get to see you soon! Jordan misses his buddy!
