that we saw this sweet face for the very first time.

The smiles since have more than made up for the lack of smiles in her referral photos, don’t you think?

Picture taken today, 6 November 2011, with Ava holding her actual referral pictures. The Spider Girl costume is courtesy of the 70% off after-Halloween costume clearance rack. Needless to say, she quite fancies it and I suspect it’s going to get a lot of wear for a $3 costume.

And ta-da!!! Here are the ballet ‘recital’ pictures I promised only a short(ish) time ago (note:date adjusted on this post since I’m trying to keep things on track and I have some other draft posts that will be coming shortly. With pictures!!). I’m kind of limited on the pictures I can/will post since many of them contain full face shots of the other kids and I don’t like to post photos of other people’s kids without permission.

So, without further ado, behold my very own mini black swan (and please note that she is the only one dressed the way they’re all supposed to be dressed).

DANCING!!!

Thank you, Miss E! We had a (mostly) lovely experience in Ava’s very first ballet class and are sorry we won’t be in your class next time.

Sorry, TM – no stripping pictures to be found. That’s because I was too busy being absolutely mortified out in the hallway with all of the other moms watching her through a two way mirror – of course with me all the while mentally willing her to stop it and stop it NOW. I’m not sure if it was the mom/daughter telepathy or the stare-down from her teacher that stopped it, but whatever.

363 to go.
