Puttin' Away the Ballet Slippers

Lately, ballet has been causing Alexandra some stress. I don't think a child should ever feel stressed. That's not what childhood is all about. So yesterday we ditched ballet and went to the park instead.

Lorelai always has a bounce in her step.

And I love that her hair bounces right along with her step.



Lizzy long-legs.



The younger two enjoyed the swings, while Miss Alexandra rode her bike to her hearts content...

...around and around and around the park.

I think maybe her ballet days are done.

And that's okay.
