Lashes for DAYS

Can you believe my little girl's lashes??

On Saturday she got to be all dolled up for her dance recital dress rehearsal and pictures.  Afterwards, I took her outside for a couple quick shots because knowing me, I wouldn't get around to on the night of.

The theme for the night is TV shows.  So her 3-4 year old class is dancing to the theme song from Gunsmoke.  There are a couple of boys in there, so they are cowboys, a few girls are cowgirls, and there are just a couple little "cow Belles".  Scarlett is one of those!

She loved the red lipstick the best, I think.

 

She's in a Tap/Ballet class, but their dance is a tap number for the recital.  She's been practicing it a lot.  I was a little surprised at how much she knew on her own without watching her teacher.  It's really cute.

Here are a couple pictures I took at the dress rehearsal...

Both taken with the iPhone... I love the Hipstamatic app for pics.  That's what I used for the first one.  

Scarlett ran into her friend, Janice, from preschool there.  We didn't even know she danced there!  Her dance is a Rainbow Bright one... cute, right? 

It's going to be a long couple of weeks until Scarlett can just wear her costume to dress up in. It's kind of torturous for her to have to stare at it in the bag waiting until her recital. ;)

Dancer

We are back doing dance again with Scarlett.  She loved her little creative dance class from last year, but this year we decided to try another dance studio and in this one she does ballet, tap, and jazz.  She loves it and will be doing a recital in June.

I took a couple pictures of her just before we left for her class earlier this week.  She was dictating the poses.... "one with my bag on my shoulder, Mom and one with my bag on my arm..."

"Oh and a picture of my side pony, Mom!"

She is a photographer's dream child. :)

Creative Dance

Dance finished up for Scarlett at the end of May and because there ended up only being 2 girls left in class by the end, there was no performance - just a parent night where they got to show us all they had been working on.

Here are a few pictures of it. Take note of Scarlett's tongue. I think that's her 'i'm-so-embarrassed-but-am-loving-the-attention' face. :)

Pliets in second position.
Skipping. She's much better now. She had NO idea how to skip when she started. It's amazing what is so hard for their little bodies to do in the beginning.
Chasse.
Spotting while turning.
Walking like a princess - pointing her toes as she steps.
Jumping with pointed toes.
She loved her first experience with dance. I think it'll be a toss up this fall between dancing and gymnastics because she really loves them both, but I don't have time for her to do everything right now! :)
