Natalie had ballet class once a week through the school year when we lived in Michigan. She LOVED it. She looked forward to every single class, asking me periodically throughout the week, "How many days till ballet?"
The evening we loaded up our Budget Truck, was also the evening of Natalie's recital. It happened to be about a 15-20 minute drive, and it was at 7:00 pm (the girls regularly scheduled bed time.) It also didn't help that we planned to be up and going super early the next morning to make the 11 hour drive to our new home in Illinois.
But... she LOVES ballet. How could we not do the recital? She was so cute in her little white and yellow ballet dress, wearing just a titch of stage makeup with her hair tied back with a big yellow ribbon. It was a joy to watch her.
Her class did their little dance to the song, "You've got a friend in me," from the Toy Story movie. Lots of smiles, happy murmurs, and light laughter accompanied their performance as little girls aged 3-5 tried to be synchronized. Some girls waved to the audience during their dance (Natalie). Some girls didn't move from their spots, and some just smiled and did their own thing, thrilled to be on a big stage.
We love our little ballerina!
