We had a wonderful time yesterday at Amy’s ballet show and she really shone on stage. I wasn’t allowed to take pictures of the performance but snapped away like mad backstage. She adored her romantic ballet dress and the sparkly make-up.
It was quite a job to convince her to take her costume off afterwards – I think she’s have happily slept in it given the chance!

Oh Julie, I can’t blame your little dancing princess for not wanting to take that number off! It is just so beautiful. She must have felt like an angel. I look forward to sharing times like this with Freya – Jen

ah, she is beautiful! my daughter loves the makeup, too – but not the mascara, she had a tiara with her costume, too – but for the spring recital they wore flower headbands because they were the flowers from ‘Alice in wonderland’. everyone liked the tiaras better! 😉

Wow, Amy looks gorgeous and a very graceful ballerina. Well done Amy I hope you really enjoyed the performance and all the hard work paid off – I’m sure it did! I’m not surprised you didn’t want to take that beautiful dress off. Sparkles and glamour, what more can a girl ask or want for? Congrats to you both.

Amy looks simply beautiful, a perfect ballerina all sparkles and poof 🙂 When I was little I always wanted to dance ballet, the shoes alone captivated me to no end! I can definitely see why you had a hard time convincing her to take her finery off lol 😉

Amy looks so beautiful. She reminds me of when I took ballet lessons–I loved the costumes when they had nice, full skirts like her’s. It sounds like she gave a great performance as well.
Another beautiful post on your blog….

Deanne, my boy does ballet and LOVES it! It is fabulous for his co-ordination and stamina and has improved his footballing abilities no end.

I no longer ever need to buy “lifestyle” magazines when I can simply drop by your website and blog and get loads of creative ideas and see wonderful photos and read great narrative. You definitely just need to add a “dog” – the lifestyle pages always feature a dog – say a blue grey whippet just lolling at your feet, or curled up on the children’s bed.
It is so lovely to drop by for a browse.

Your girl looks lovely! I just posted a ballet-message on my weblog too: http://vlijtig.blogspot.com/2008/06/dancing-all-night.html. When I read what you are writing it is obvious that balletgirls don’t change. I always have to talk extensively to get my little girl out of her pink dress.
