Marianne has been taking a little dance class this fall. It is really simple ballet and tumbling. There are only four other girls and it is at a lady's house in the neighborhood. There is not a dress code- other than for this rehearsal- so she has worn all kinds of delightful ballet outfits- old dance costumes of Kate's and kinds of leg warmers. I think dressing for dance was Marianne's favorite part.
The afternoon of her performance sadly only her and one other girl could make it because of illness. Really Marianne should not have been there either. She had pneumonia. But I figured she was acting fine we could go to do our performance. I mean we had been working all week for it. Well that was a bad idea. Marianne refused to do it and cried and cried. When we begged and bribed and nothing worked. So we watched the one girl by herself and then went home. Marianne felt bad because a few days later when she was feeling better wanted to show me all her dance moves. I shouldn't have made her go sick. Either way- her pre-recital pictures were cute. This dance outfit sure shows too how much Marianne's body has changed this year. She is a lean and tall girl now more like Kate- and not the chubby toddler she has been for so long.
