Tiny Dancer

Last week was the event CC's been looking forward to for months: Ballet Camp! It was Frozen-themed, and her excitement every morning as she got ready was adorable.

Monday morning she was dressed with ballet shoes on, bag over her shoulder, and hair in a bun, eating breakfast hours before we needed to leave.

I took some portraits of her in the sweet leotard our sitter, Julie, gave to her:

Once CC saw the sequins and skirt on this leotard, she wanted nothing to do with the plain pink and black ones I'd bought for her!

On Friday, all the parents were treated to a "recital" set to music from Frozen. CC sang her heart out and (kind of) followed the steps. We didn't know whether she'd freeze like a statue or wander aimlessly off the dance floor, so it was precious to see her following along. I actually got a little teary watching her class perform, it was so cute!

Afterwards, her counselor told us that CC shows a lot of dance potential. I think MJ snorted into his coffee. CC's only 4, after all -- it's too soon to tell. But she loves it, and that's enough for me. We've already signed her up for ballet lessons in the fall!
