Ella started Ballet Lessons yesterday which she calls
Ballerina School. It was such a great experience. She got there in her new (and freshly washed and pressed) ballet leotard. We also got her regulation pink tights and shoes. We couldn't find a skirt to fit her tiny waist so I will be working on that this week before next week's class.
Here is Ella lined up with the other students before class.
Her teacher, Miss Kim is an absolute dream. Before class started she sat and read a book to Evangeline so she would feel included. So amazing.
Miss Kim gave Ella a glowing report and Ella even showed me some Ballet skills. Like this "Umbrella Arm" position. I'm sorry to gush, but it's all so incredibly cute to me I can't stand it. Of course, for this adorable picture, Ella decided to throw out the "No Lips" smile. LOL!
And finally the shoes. These regulation ballet shoes set us back $20. Can you believe it?! That's why they get to star in their very own photo.
Since it was a special day I took the girls to lunch at Wendy's afterwards as a special treat. It was such an all around exciting and fun afternoon. I don't know who's more excited about next weeks lesson, me or Ella.

Adorable! I totally hear you on the shoes - we had tap and ballet/jazz with my two and eeesh! (I recommend discountdance.com btw.)
Hope your girl continues to enjoy dancing. :)
the photos you took completely captured the event, the memory, the experience - wonderful!
I agree, she IS just as cute as can be. With her lips that way, it just looks like she's concentrating very hard on her form. :o) Beautiful Ella, beautiful.
So, extremely, adorable!! I had a little one (at one time) who didn't fill out her tights!!! So sweet!! I'm sure you just can't get enough of this stage! (I enjoy seeing it in your blog!)
ain't nothing cuter than a little ballerina. ;)
it melts my heart every time.
I love the picture of the shoes...and the baggy tights!!
that is just too cute. these are the times that i change my mind about wanting only boys.
Just wait until you have to buy toe shoes for point. I won't even tell you how much those suckers cost. Or how much the oh so adorable recital outfits are going to run you.
OOh these are adorable photos!

Oh so cute! I loved Ballet. She'll be great
She looks too cute for words! I can't WAIT to see the skirt! :D
