ballerina

when i was a little girl, my mom enrolled me in tap, ballet, and jazz dance lessons. i loved it so freaking much. and, i got very excited about the outfits i got to wear. always full of sequins and sparkles. inspired by my little dancing self, my mom found this leotard and tutu and obviously couldn't say no. i tend to keep the frills and over-the-top girlie stuff to a minimum around here so this probably fills the quota for the next year but even i think we can all agree... oh. my. cuteness.

here's ruby reading, saying hi to me, and saying "enough pictures, ma!"
(and don't worry - that's an old debit card. which is not to say
that she doesn't go through T's wallet already or anything.
heaven help us when the teenage years come...)
