New ballet shoes. Every ballerina needs a new pair in the fall, it's just like back-to-school clothes. Little V is very excited to dance again this year, especially since she is in "big girl classes" now. But look at that elastic, shouldn't the straps come sewn? There is a part of me that really dreads sewing on the straps every fall, but this year I really enjoyed it. It provided me with a little quite time in what has been a very chaotic couple of weeks and it got me thinking, how lucky I am that dance is something I can share with my daughter. It has always been a part of my life and while I was sewing the ealstic on her little ballet shoes I thought about how much a part of Little V's life dance already is. Of course, her mom owns a dance studio, but everything she does has a little bit of dance in it already. She loves music, she loves to move, she has literally been dancing since she was in the womb, and her favorite thing to do is have "dance parties." I hope she always dances through life...
There is the finished sewing job. It's certainly not perfection, but it works. Every year Little V picks a different color thread to use, it's our little secret, her ballet shoes look like everyone elses on the outside, but inside a little splash of purple!
And, thanks, Mom, for sewing hundreds of pairs of ballet shoes for me.
