Growing Up

Virginia started ballet today. Okay actually its called creative movement, she has to be four years old to do ballet. Yesterday we bought her her first pair of ballet slippers. I was so proud of her sitting so still but excited as they brought in pairs of slippers to try on. We also bought tights since we were there. It was the same store where I bought my dance slippers back when I danced for institute choir, which actually wasnt very long ago.

Here she is all dressed up, she is using hand me downs from Liliaan besides the slippers and tights we bought.


Here she is going to class.

Her slippers and a snack are in her back-pack.


Ben fought back a few tears last night when he held her little slippers in his hand. He had to chuck them out of his hands to keep the tears back. :) She did just fine even when I left her, this is her first class, besides nursery at church. Her buddy Riley is in her class, so lucky! Our little angel is getting so grown up.

This post is so precious, I got a little tear, what is it about little girls and dance that is so . . . absolutely perfect?

She looks so grown up with her dance clothes on and hair pulled up tight! I have to admit, it brought a tear in my eye too...
She looks beautiful and I can already tell she will be a great dancer!

oh my gosh... yeah, that last picture is definitely a tear-jerker. She is precious. Her little ballet-outfit, hair up and a back-pack! Sometimes I put Starlynn in an outfit that makes her look too grown-up so I put her little buns back in a onesie so she looks like a baby-baby again. Yes, I know she is only almost 2 months old, but they just grow up so fast! Ginny is a doll.
