Littlest Ballerina

Aunt Ingrid and Cousin Erika gave Kate

the most adorable little tutu

for her first birthday.

I tried to put it on her a few times last fall,

but, when Kate vehemently protested,

the tutu was relegated to the closest.

Until tonight!

Kate noticed the tutu and insisted that she put it on

so that she could be transformed into a ballerina -

just like Cousin Abby!

At first she pranced around with Miss Daisy.
Then we went downstairs for a ballet lesson
with Miss Abby.
Who turned out to be a great instructor.
Look at that form!

Kate watched carefully.

And then gave it a try!

Arms up!

Practicing walking on her tippy-toes!

So fun!

I think I need to get Kate enrolled in some ballet lessons.

What do you think?

Anyone know of a NoVA studio that takes rising two year-olds?
