Buggie the Ballerina Part 2

Today was ballet class again for Bugs. All week she talked about how she did not want to go back to ballet school.
Buggie is quite a ham. She is the biggest clown in our family, and makes us laugh constantly. But, when she is not trying to be funny and we laugh or look at her she gets very upset. (And that is an understatement). This is one of her insecurities, bless her heart. So, this morning I was laying in bed with her and figured out why she didn't want to go back to ballet school. It was because she didn't like how all the mom's were looking at her during ballet, and giggling. She thought that all the giggles were towards her, and in her words "it made her have a sad heart". Poor girl. So... I explained that all the mommies are watching their little girls during ballet, and that I am the only mommy watching her. And that when the other mommies are giggling it's not because of her (Buggie) it's because they think their little girl is so cute doing ballet. Well, she got it! She was ready to put on her tutu, and tights and give ballet another go!
At first she wanted to hold on to her "lovie" and one of her cars that she named "Gidget", but about 5 min into it she was ready to be hands free. She was so brave, and staged the floor, and did great. They are starting to practice for the Christmas recital already, eeeeeeee can't wait for that! Here's some footage of today-

  4. Oh my gosh - TOO much! First of all she is WAY better than that blonde chick in the first video. And her tutu is BY FAR the best in the whole class. You saw those girls checking her out in the third video. And I kind of feel bad for the "big" girl who is obviously a spaz. Way to go Annie!!! XOXOXO
