Bella Dancerella

For her birthday, Grace received a ballet kit called Bella Dancerella. Included is a dance mat, a ballet bar, and a video. The video is of Oscar quality, as a young girl, touting braces, and two gigantic bears in tutus bring out the Swan Lake in all of us. Grace LOVES this kit. She is also currently obsessed with dressing like a "princess." You can see by today's outfit that sometimes a princess looks more like a controversial Madonna video. Really, she SCREAMS in the morning when I tell her that she needs to wear real clothes when we leave the house. Anyway, I couldn't resist taking some shot of our tiny dancer as she diligently learned some new moves.





Grace is getting our money's worth out of her Build a Bear/Dog/Dance partner.





Using the balance bar. She put her crocs on herself and told me they were her ballet shoes.






Plie!


Checking her fancy footwork.


This is kind of random, but is it bad that I told Matt part of me wants her to have his terrible eyesight just so I can see her in glasses more often? I was just kidding! Ahem... But she does look so cute, if I say so myself.

Grace really looks like she is having fun with that video and playset!

I'm not sure about "Grace the Ballerina" though. I think that if you got a football video and mini field goal she would like that even better!

Wait a minute. Stop the presses! Maybe
Uncle Ry would come through with a boxing video! Yes! That is more like the Grace I know - haha!

The glasses are cute!

She is so cute. I'm dying at the bar and the crocs AND that she is actually watching the video and trying to follow along. How old is she?

So cute. I was hoping the glasses were real.

I would like my own copy of Gracer Dancerella. She looks so pretty! She has good form in the picture of her with her arm in the air. I love the bar too. That is so cool. Taylor would love that. But seriously, do they make an adult version? I've always regretted quitting ballet...
