Eleanor the Ballerina!

Here is our little ballerina on her way to perform. They danced to My Little Sunshine on an outdoor stage at the outdoor annual festival. Two of the little girls didn't perform due to stage fright, but not our Ellie! She was a little confused in a couple of parts as her partner was missing, but she did pretty well for 3.5years old. She did a lot more singing than dancing though. Maybe we should have put her in voice lessons instead of ballet!
Here she is afterwards. "Is it over Mom?" "I want to do it again!"

I did record the dance, but blogger doesn't like the video apparently. No luck loading it here. In a moment of obvious insanity I volunteered to be a chaperone for her class at the recital. Whew! Keeping track of 8 little girls in a crowded festival is work! But I managed to ensure that they all made it back to the correct parents.

As we were leaving I did have a few strangers stop me to say that they enjoyed Eleanor's enthusiastic performance the best. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not! But she is definitely a little ham!
