....Ducks of a feather TWIRL together....
Linking up with Leigh from Leigh vs Laundry and the 52 Weeks of Happiness Project

but backwards and in high heels". ~Faith Whittlesey
Lil Duck and I have, for some time now, been attending a Mom & Me dance class on Saturday mornings. For months my little ballerina flitted around the house pointing and twirling and plie'ing between episodes of Angelina Ballerina all while insisting that was to be her some day.
"To watch us dance is to hear our hearts speak". ~Hopi Indian Saying
SOME DAY arrived and I found a class we could attend together. She bounces from bed each morning hours before class, dresses in her 'ballerina dress' and practices.
Her smile never falters from the moment we load the car until class has ended.

"There are shortcuts to happiness and dancing is one of them." ~Vicki Baum
I'm quite sure I look forward to it just as much as she does.
Her enthusiasm is the music to my heart;
her high wattage smile and the twinkle of her eyes the dance of my heart.

"In a dancer, there is a reverence for such forgotten things
as the miracle of the small beautiful bones and their delicate strength." ~Martha Graham
I don't even mind that she usually ditches me for a spot at the front of the room, right next to the teacher and naturally dead center to the wall of mirrors. *chuckle* She IS her mother's child.

On with the dance! let joy be unconfined;
No sleep till morn, when Youth and Pleasure meet
To chase the glowing hours with flying feet.

**extra special thanks to Irishman for taking the great pics of Lil Duck and me. She sure loves having an audience watching at the windows!

She is so adorable. So sweet that they offer mommy and me classes.
I love that you found a class y'all could take together (even if she ditches you for the good spot in front of the mirror). That is so awesome!!
Great pictures....they made me smile. Total happiness.
Looks like a fun bonding time.
I can't believe how big she is getting. And beautiful, too. Kinda like momma.
Look at that sweet little dancer. I love this!
That is the most adorable thing...
You are such a good mom!
I got little tears because I know she LOVES this class and it's just so stinkin cute!
This is so awesome! I have been lucky enough that over the past few weeks I have been able to help with Paige's jazz class. They get to dance with guys (older guys) in their jazz dance for the Christmas show and I get the pleasure of stepping in for the guy part every week. I am loving it and she is too. Makes me want to throw my dance shoes back on.
sounds like fun and of course she wants up front that's where all the stars perform
