Ballerina Girl

Tomorrow Skylar is going to be fitted for her first pair of pointe shoes. I can't believe it. It was only yesterday that she was a little two-year-old munchkin begging for ballet lessons and we had to tell her "not until you start using the potty". She's been dancing since age 3, and I hope she will keep on dancing.
Her first ballet recital was to a Winnie the Pooh song, "Lullabee" (I think it was called). She would shake her "stinger" so hard in rehearsal that she would get a stomachache. She's always been pretty good at shaking her booty - gets that from her mama.
This year, in addition to ballet, Pointe, tap, lyrical, jazz, and being a teacher's assistant, Skylar is going to take Hip Hop again. She took Hip Hop just before we moved here to New Bern and she loved it. Personally, I'd love to see Bart take Hip Hop, too. I could just picture him popping and locking like a pro. He's got a natural funkiness/goofiness that makes me think he'd be an awesome dancer. When he was three, he took tap and tumbling classes. He had the most adorable little teeny tiny shoes. He was great onstage too, a real ham - gets that from his daddy.
