This week marked Sunny’s ballet review. She’s been taking ballet for about 2 years, and every review I am more impressed with the effort these little ones put into their work.

To give you a frame of reference, here is a picture from Gracie’s review when she was two years old. (you can follow us on instagram @wherewilloughbyat)

Yep, she’s growing up. If ever I was in denial- I can compare that photo to this one…

It’s a bit difficult to photograph one child when the other one is sitting on your lap, but I think you’ll get the general idea, of how perfect the practice of ballet is for my tiny dancer.

If you look closely, you can spot Jude in the mirror. He is a fan of his sister- but every man has his limits.

For her part my Sunshine girl is a beautiful little dancer. I’m happy that she has a practice that teaches her discipline and patience. It’s not easy to point those toes, and keep your spine straight, and listen to a class that uses foreign terms; but she’s doing it. She doesn’t yet see ballet as an expression of herself, but I think in time she will. I hope she keeps dancing long into adulthood. I hope she looks back at these photos and sees that she’s been a shining star her whole life.
