Little Ballerina

Ruby has been in a darling little ballet and tap class this past year taught by a friend of ours. She never did show me much of what she learned at home, but I came to find out at her recital just how much she can do! Seeing her twirl and point her toe up on that stage was a great mommy moment for me. She looked like a little princess with her hair in a pretty bun, and her long lashes accentuated with a little mascara. 169171175183194196201199205206209

She was so dainty eating her pre-recital nachos.224347Backstage.046047

She definitely wasn’t shy up there. I think I’ve watched the videos over a dozen times. She looks so little from so far away! She’s the second from the left on the first dance, and on the far right for the second.

The boys were always jealous when Ruby got dropped off, but soon understood the routine and learned to like the mommy/boys time every Monday. They also loved the performance, and were so proud of their sweet sister. Alex made it his job to take special care of the flowers until we gave them to her. He was more than excited to have this responsibility. 054055

She was so thrilled to get those flowers, she didn’t let them go all night. 065069072075077356

Since many friends are also in the class, we decided to take all the little dancers out for frozen yogurt after the recital. It was crazy with all the kids on a bit of a high, but a fun memory. 080082083084
