Little Ballerina

Miriam talks frequently of the fact that she is going to be a ballerina and a ballet teacher when she grows up.  On Tuesday, she took the first step toward her dream...

Her friend Mary Kate takes ballet, and Tuesday was "bring a friend" day, so she invited Miriam to come.  Mary Kate let us borrow a leotard and ballet slippers, and Miriam kept saying, "I feel so beautiful!" when she had it on.  She wanted a bun in her hair (since that's how ballerinas wear their hair), but that didn't work so we settled for little braids and a ponytail.  She had a great time at the class with Mary Kate and it was very cute to see her demonstrate her twirls and leaps for us.
