Ballerina
March 6, 2010
I am planning to take Willow to a creative movement class tomorrow for 2- to 4-year olds and on a whim purchased her a ballet leotard, tights and slippers today. This afternoon when I pulled the ballet slippers out of the bag and showed them to Willow she reacted with extraordinary glee and told me they were beautiful. I suggested to her that we try the whole outfit on to see if it fits and, once dressed, she immediately tore off into my closet where she proceeded to twirl and twist and jump and pose. She wanted to go to the ballet class immediately and was bummed when I informed her that it wouldn’t take place until tomorrow. She’s sitting beside me now, still in her ballet costume, her hair twisted up in a messy bun. I have a feeling she is going to sleep that way.
