pink tutu

If you ask Charlotte what she wants to be when she grows up, even after a discussion about doctors, firefighters, bakers, or veterinarians, she'll answer, "a dancer with a pink dress". 

...And she is a good dancer, a great dancer already!  

Well, now she has a pink dress, a tutu, and by the way,  it's HOT pink. Aunt Claudia and Uncle Dale picked it out for her while they were traveling through California this month. Wow! What a treat for CB. 

Last Saturday during the farmer's market, Charlotte and I went upstairs in a building on the plaza to use the restroom which just so happens to be a few doors down from a dance store. I asked CB, "Do you want to go and check out the dance store?" We were in the hallway so she whispered and nodded, "yes." 

In we went and saw all the dance gear a dancer might possibly need: leg warmers, tutus, leotards, leggings, slippers, shoes...  The woman who works took us to the kids section and pointed out the leotards the kids her age wear for dance class (pastel pink leotards with cap sleeves). I'll be taking her in there in August when her class starts. :)

Hot pink tutu,

worn on the hips or on the head...
