Beautiful Ballerina

Well, Izzy did a wonderful job in the recital tonight! She was a real 'leader' in her group. It was great to see her actually doing what she was supposed to do rather than last year when she was a little overwhelmed by it all and lost.

At the end all the girls left the stage in the same direction, but she seemed determined that she was supposed to leave in the other direction. So there she was, pulling on her partner's arm (my girlfriend Michelle's daughter). Everyone was laughing because she must have tried pulling her in the other direction for a good 30 seconds or so! It was adorable.

I love that she is enjoying ballet and even more that she likes to be onstage and perform at the end of the season. I missed performing a little, but it was nice to relax and watch the show this year.

So, we hang up our ballet slippers for another year. Here's to two things getting stroked off our 'to do' lists each week :)

Here she is on stage mid-dance....adorable!
Here's a shot from the very beginning of the dance. We were in the third row and she spotted us right away. It was cool!

You are fast girl! I sat down to check out everyone's blogs that I read and there's Izzy all dressed up! YOu got some great shots! I don't think mine turned out so well. I am also relieved but a little sad that ballet is over. Now our Thursdays won't be quite so crazy!
