First day of ballet school


So today was Britt's first dance class. As soon as we got home from school I fixed her hair and then got her dressed.

I may have yanked her tights up a little too high. Ya think?

She's not supposed to wear her slippers outside the studio, but I just had to see the whole outfit together. Those are Aunt Bridgie's gnarly feets in the background.

And she has to wear some sort of covering over her leotard outside the studio, so we put that on and grabbed her adorable little gear bag, and then we were on our way.

I didn't get any pictures of her during class because the viewing window would've bounced the flash back at me. Plus, no one else was taking any pictures and I didn't want to be the only one.

I was afraid Britt might wander around doing her own thing instead of participating with the rest of the class, like she tends to do, but she did great! She followed instructions as best she could and she didn't always get the steps right, but she did it all with enthusiasm and a huge smile.

And? Oh. Migod. I damn near needed a shot of insulin by the time we got out of there. The sweetness was that intense.

Also, I had to blow my nose because I was all misty-eyed pretty much the whole time.

It was just the cutest damn thing ever.
