A year ago my daughter was able to get her first pair of pointe shoes. This has been one of her goals since she was a little girl in her first pink ballet slippers and tutu! I was so proud when I watched her first pointe performance, and I will neither confirm nor deny whether tears were present that night as I watched her dance! After asking me for months if we could do a pointe shoe photo shoot, I finally caved. Before we hung this first pair up in the shadow box, we figured we might as well have some fun with them! She is already on to her second pair and getting ready to perform in her first Nutcracker in a few weeks! She is ecstatic! Me, well, I look at these pictures and just can't help the tears. I'm just so proud of my girl! She has worked so hard and is living her dreams!
I love you, my darling...my sweet, beautiful ballerina!
