Wordless Wednesday – First Ballet Shoes
She has been begging for over a year to take classes. She dances and twirls around the house constantly. Her favorite phrase is, “Me a ballerina!” (she is only four)
I finally signed her up and she started classes last weekend. She could not contain her excitement when we shopped for the shoes. She slept with them the first night. She likes to look at them every day.
She smiled the entire class and paid very close attention to the teacher but made certain that I was watching her the entire time.
This was a big day. For all of us.
My little ballerina.

I still remember my first ballet shoes. Princess slippers, I would call them. They gave me super powers (so I thought) and I’m sure Laurel is feeling exactly that now! Great photos!
She looks so cute. I remember taking my oldest to get her ballet shoes…it was so much fun! Now we’ve got to get #2 to them.
She is a doll!! Love the pink shoes.
She looks so excited
What a fun and cute milestone. That smile at the top says everything.
She is adorable! I am so jealous right now too! lol
The shoes are too cute. I have been wanting to sign up my daughter for a while now. But we are down to one vehicle and it’s a ride to town. Hopefully soon though.
Awwww, it’s SO cute to see her excitement. Love it!
How sweet is that!! My daughter never took classes but she had a pair of ballet slippers and several tutus and would twirl about the house, what fun!
I can remember when my oldest was in ballet. She was just like your daughter, all excited about her new shoes, outfit, and such for her lessons. She’s a doll! 🙂
What a cutie with her own sense of style!
lol…the first picture reminds me of Harry Potter’s Ollivanders Wand Shop…
Ollivander: “Curious…very curious…”
Laurel: “Sorry, but what’s curious?”
Ollivander: “I remember every single pair of ballet shoes I’ve ever sold, Ms. Connerty. It so happens that the phoenix whose tail feather is in your ballet shoes, gave another feather — just one other. It is very curious indeed that you should be destined for these ballet shoes when its brother gave you that scar (for those that don’t know…Laurel is a Tetralogy of Fallot survivor that underwent open heart surgery at the ripe age of 5 months…she has a scar..pretty small…as a reminder of that ordeal) .”

She looks like she’s more than ready…great pics!
How fun! My daughter took ballet/tap for a few months, then decided not to.
Perfect! I knew when my little girl did pirouettes through Office Max, that it was time to get her signed up for ballet classes. So much fun 🙂
I loved dance, my daughter never really wanted to try. It’s good to see her excitement.
Awwww….I love when they get so excited about things. She looks like a natural dancer! Happy WW!
That is seriously one cute photo on the bottom. She is adorable!

Too cute. Shae started dance 3-4 months ago and got her first pair of pink ballet shoes also.
Happy WW!

Cant wait to be able to do this with Natalee! She looks so excited!
Adorable! Dancing is so sweet at that age.
I love that she’s starting to dance. My girls were dancers too and I miss those days!
Awwww….so cute! I should have put Baby into dance ages ago. Guess now we are going with karate…should be interesting.
I’m so glad she enjoyed her first class. So sweet!
Can I kiss her sweet cheek now?? I love this memory…beautiful

I wish I had a little girl like so many other mommies 🙁
Boys clothes are ugly and boring,
Very cute! Amelia’s first dance class is today! We don’t have the gear yet, though. Hoping to get some this weekend.
That is so cute that she is wanting to be a little ballerina.
Happiness is in a child’s smile, but this one is so happy she smiles with her beautiful eyes. Too cute.
So adorable!
I wish my girls would take dance! So cute!
Aww, what a cutie! My daughters loved dance too!
*Sigh* I remember how excited I was to get my first ballet shoes and tutu!! I wanted to wear them around the house 24 hours a day!

Too sweet! I took dance when I was in middle school and just LOVED it – and totally wished I’d started when I was younger. I’m sure your daughter will have so much fun!
Awesome you have a tiny dancer!!
That is very exciting!!! She looks so proud!
YAY! we have ballet shoes from Halloween, but Little started gymnastics last week instead. Hope your little one loves her class.
I remember my first pair of ballet shoes!
My daughter started when she was 2 and there is nothing better than your first pair of ballet shoes. I have hers in a box next to my first pair!
What a special time to remember. Let us know how the lessons go!

So cute, I hope she loves her classes.
