First Position

It is dance day and oh, how we love dance day.  We wish we didn’t have to wait all day until 4 o’clock to get to what we love so much.  Kate loves going and I love that she loves going.  It is somehow my reward for living through toddlerhood with two wild little boys.  Pink tutus and tap shoes I can understand and get excited about.  These images above were Kate’s first tap shoes from last year.  She has since moved on to a bigger pair and continues to scratch up the wood floor in my kitchen.  You can see her standing patiently on her blue lily pad waiting on her turn to twirl across the room.  Imagine!?  My boys would have been running laps no matter what anyone said.  Amazing.

And don’t even get me started about her first ballet shoes.  Love.  You might find them this week at Kindermart if you look hard.  They no longer look this good but have lots of love in them.  🙂  I can’t believe I parted with them and am so glad I have this image to save forever.

First position?  She knows what first and second position are and we ask her to show us all the time.  It is too cute and makes my heart melt.  Poor boys…we never ask them to show us how they grip the baseball bat over and over.  They don’t seem to be too scarred by this (yet).  Luckily they think she is as cute as I do (most of the time).

Smyrna friends, don’t forget to shop Kindermart Children’s Consignment Sale this coming weekend for gently used children’s items.  It will be held at the First United Methodist Church of Smyrna and you can get all details at www.kindermartsale.com.
