My Ballerinas

Have I mentioned the twins' love of the arts? They have a soft spot in their hearts for Tchaikovsky-- The Nutcracker and Swan Lake are their absolute favorite--- they will take watching Baryshnikov in tights over Dora the Explorer any day. (They also watched nearly all 4 hours of Mozart's The Magic Flute last year when they were still 2.) They love classical music and dance. LOVE IT. On the way up to Yellowstone they actually had a complete melt down when the battery died on the laptop and they were only half way through Swan Lake, the ballet. AND the other day when I was flipping through the stations on the radio, they were going absolutely BONKERS until I passed the classical music station and then they both yelped and begged me to go back and Linda said, "This is MY music mommy. It's beautiful." It was pretty sweet.

So, to foster this love for all things classical and lovely, we signed them up for ballet. This is their second attempt at dance classes (in Guatemala we signed them up for what ended up being a Salsa class....interesting...). Anyway, here they are all dressed up and ready to prance and curtsy and spin and pliet and be dainty little girls. It was very entertaining and they are just so happy. We are going to be signing them up for another class I think.

Both terribly excited-- and they are actually the same height-- Lucy is just on her "tippy toes" here. They love that word.
