Pretty as a Picture

An eagerly awaited event (for me, anyway!) on the ballet school calendar each year is Picture Day. Of course, everyone's tried on her costume already, but this is the first glimpse of each dancer in her full recital glory: costume, hair, & make-up. Then, when they're all together like that - well, you just can't imagine how cute it is to see class after class of pre-schoolers, all dolled up, patiently waiting their turn to be photographed!

Here's Jordi (far right), with about half of her class "on deck," as it were, for the photographer. Aren't they too much? And besides these adorable bunnies, the waiting area was also filled with other classes dressed as butterflies, buttercups, & bumblebees - each outfit cuter than the next! I can't wait to see Jordi's picture; I'll be sure to post it when we get it in a few weeks!

Also, I'd like to mention that being able to witness those dozens of little costumed ballerinas gathered together like that made quite an impression on me - it's a memory that's sure to make me smile for a long while!
