Ballet Shoes

So the Sophie and Hannah have their first ballet class tomorrow. I went out and (finally) bought their leotards, tights and shoes. The leotards were fine. I cannot find a pair of tights to fit Hannah to save my life. And the shoes. Oh my God the shoes. They loved them. They wanted to hold them during the car ride home. I told them no because I learned my lesson there but that's another story.

By the time we got home, it was nap time. Hannah wanted to put on her ballet shoes right away and wear them to bed. I told her that she could only wear her ballet shoes on days she has class. She cried and cried all the way up to her room. She was so upset that I told her she could put them right next to her bed if she wanted. She looked at me with tears in her eyes and said in the saddest voice "Can I snuggle with them?" I said "Yes, you can snuggle with them." She pushed her shirts to the side*, put the shoes on her pillow and snuggled right up to them. It was the sweetest thing.

*She has to have several shirts to snuggle with when she goes to sleep.
