Dance Pictures

Yesterday was picture day for Emmy's dance class.  I practiced with her hair and make-up on Saturday.  I'll just say, It's not easy putting make-up on a three year old.  Once she was all done, she looked in the mirror and said, "I look beautiful!" 

When I was doing her hair and make-up on Sunday it went a little better.  I skipped the eyeliner because she just hates it.  She doesn't need it anyway.  I'm really not a fan of make-up on children and wasn't on board with this for dance.  But, her teacher explained how washed out their faces would look on camera and on stage.  Plus, they want all the kids to look alike...brown eye shadow, red lip stick, reddish blush, black eyeliner & black mascara.  Ultimately it was up to us if we wanted make-up on our kids or not.  I caved. 

Emmy did really well for pictures...even without getting a nap yesterday.  I asked her if she smiled good. (parents weren't allowed in the studio)  She said "Yes, but Sophie didn't." 

After pictures were done, we stopped for ice cream!

Her recital is not until May.  So we have a couple more months to practice her dance moves. 

Her ballet song is "I Love Colors."

 Her tap song is "Fun 2 Be a Bee."
