Anna's Dance Recital

 Anna started taking ballet and tap this year.  The recital was really precious!  She couldn't have been more excited to dress up and wear the crown.  Look how sweet she is!  She never got stage fright like some of the other little girls, but she kept running over to me to ask if she was doing it right.  :)  She would run over, climb in my lap, whisper in my ear, and then run back and jump back into the dance.  Of course, this was to be expected in a group of 3-year-olds so no one thought anything about it, but I thought it was so cute.

She was always very serious about her hair for the classes.  Each Thursday she made sure she had all her things together to take to school and would have me pull her hair into a bun, which required many bobby pins, rubber bands, hair nets, hairspray, and gel.  Normally, Anna doesn't allow me to even brush her hair, but for this, she endured a lot of tugging and pulling on her hair.  If you look closely, you can see the sparkly pink bobby pins that she found at the store and the beautiful ribbons around the bun.


She will definitely continue with dance classes next year so look forward to more recital pictures to come.  I really like the way this company does things.  They come to the school for a one hour class each week and then for the recital, the children weren't required to pay high fees to be in the recital or to buy an expensive costume that they will never wear again.  The company owns all the matching little costumes which they loaned us for the 30 minutes and made each little girl a crown out of silver pipe cleaners which she got to keep.  So precious!  I know I keep saying that, but what else can I say!
