Too Cute

This blog post is getting a rerun because it fits in perfectly with Pink Saturday. This time I'm including photos of the precious pink slippers (or Babulay Slipelers, as Lucy called them).

I always hesitate to tell "cute little baby" stories about my children who are now adults, for fear of embarrassing them and thus not hearing from them until they start wondering about the will. But I'm going to make an exception because I just read Antique Mommy's story of her Sean starting soccer and it brought back all those signing up memories.

When I was a rookie Mom and getting all the hand-outs coming home from school saying "sign up for karate" or "it's time for soccer sign-up", they went straight in the trash because my daughter was born wanting to dance.

She started ballet at three and had the cutest little pair of pink slippers you've ever seen (they're in a shadowbox on the wall because anything that cute has to be displayed).

Anyway, I thought I should ask her about the softball paper she brought home one day just in case it was a secret desire of hers I didn't know about.
"Honey, do you think you'd like to sign-up for softball?", I inquired.

She paused........and looked very thoughtful.

Then she asked, "What color are the costumes?".
I had my answer.
Here's the shrine to ballet class up close. You can even see her name written on the inside so these wouldn't get mixed up with all the other tiny pink ballet slippers.
