My daughter wanted ballet shoes last summer for her birthday. I was so excited for her to open her ballet flats, but much to her dismay, they weren't pointe shoes. Sometimes I see her at her ballet class trying to do the positions on the points of her toes, but it doesn't really work too well with the flats!Amanda Villagómezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02119297811490732509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058349215223700929.post-68652608839687047252011-03-03T20:14:42.904-05:002011-03-03T20:14:42.904-05:00Wow!

You can't buy ballet shoes in your town, so I am guessing it was small and rural? Interesting, I am struck by how much is conveyed through the absence of things, such as friends who take ballet,<br /><br />Another well crafted piece,<br />ErinMagical Ms. Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09594444785515534365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058349215223700929.post-5860243955914916252011-03-03T13:44:41.363-05:002011-03-03T13:44:41.363-05:00I think my first chapter would be "my life wi...I think my first chapter would be "my life with dolls" - thanks for the inspiration to think about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058349215223700929.post-55146702212917097742011-03-03T13:42:29.456-05:002011-03-03T13:42:29.456-05:00I love the idea of thinking about one's life i...I love the idea of thinking about one's life in seven chapters - I will do this tomorrow!
