ballerina

She's been waiting for this day for a long time.

Waiting. (practicing). Asking her Mommy, "Is today the day?"

And finally the day came when her Mommy said, "Yes! Today IS the day!"

Serious endeavors require serious fuel.

Healthy nutritious breakfast?

Check!

She might have her big sisters hand me down ballet shoes, but rest assured she's chock full of her own unique "spunk" ...

           

And (naturally) her signature "Ariana smile."

  

As any professional ballerina knows... it's straight to the bar.

 And, as any gentleman knows, you oblidge the lady who wants to dance...

And in due time, he'll learn that it's the gentleman, and not the lady, who asks,

"May I have this dance?"

And, from the mouth of the ballerina, it was worth the wait and became "the best day" of her whole life.

And THAT deserves a sticker.
