pointe shoes and mail
Today was the day Miss Abby has been waiting for the past 4 years. All of the lessons. The hours in the studio. And for what? Her first pair of pointe shoes. We caravaned into Kansas City with her teacher and a few other gals for a custom fitting. The child didn't stop smiling from the time we stepped into the car till the time we left. A visit with our favorite baby and mexican food for dinner topped the day off perfectly!
That was until we got home. Miss Morgan was a tad bit bummed with all of the attention on Abby. But a certain package arrived in the mail from Lera over at The Sky is Pink and just look what was inside:
Vintage baby doll dresses. She was so so happy. They fit American Girl dolls perfectly! Who knew? Thanks Lera for making the day of a certain red headed eight year old.
And how did Parker feel about this day full of ballet shoe fittings (that took two and a half hours by the way), baby kissing, and baby doll dresses? Remember this picture? Enough said. To be fair, this was a picture of him before all of the craziness ensued this morning in his new pjs...yes the bottoms are on backwards.

What a special day! I remember my first pointe shoes and how happy I was to go en pointe for the first time. I couldn't imagine ever breaking them in, though! LOL!
Way to go Abby!!! You have been practicing with your mom's pointe shoes since you were three and now you finally have your own.
And the doll dresses are darling. As is the red head holding the model.
And Parker is tooooo cute in those pjs.
