January 17, 2009 - Tippy Toe and Tappy Shoes


She has anxiously awaited this day! The day of tappy and tippy toe ballet shoes and lessons. The first time Emma put on her ballet slippers, she tried to go up on tippy toe and disappointedly informed me that they didn't work. We explained that special shoes and countless hours were required for dancers to dance on their "tippy toes", but she was saddened nonetheless. Although we must share that at the age of two, we watched as she stood on her tip toes, curled them under slightly and walked across the room. We had never seen anything quite like it and still are impressed when she does it now! She has been leading her brothers in warm up exercises today. We'll have to catch that in action!
