Let's get to the POINTE!




I know... 2 posts in one day! Crazy! But I wanted to have a special post for Rylee who just got her FIRST pair of Pointe shoes!!! We went out on Monday in the rain, and drove to Temecula for her "fitting"! She was so excited and I was a little teary cause this is my baby and this such a BIG step for her in dance!

They usually have to try on a lot of different pairs of shoes, but it took only one for Rylee. Just the size had to be adjusted, otherwise, it was pretty easy!

They have you ( actually it is Elaine from Strictly Workout Wear), have you do different excersizes to make sure that it is exactly right. And when you get toe shoes you sew on the ribbons and elastics to them and you need to have pads that your toes go in and then you put your foot inside the shoe. Rylee learned the way to do all this and recieved specific instructions that i know she will do!!!

Dance class with Miss Cheri. Also Taylor and Jean Marie are standing getting instructions with Rylee!!!!! GO GIRLS!
Rylee's first day of class was yesterday! Yes her feet hurt but she was and is s total trooper!!! 2 of her good friends got their shoes too so they were all in this together! They looked so youngand small. I am so very proud of my Rylee Bug!! She has worked so hard forthis and deserves it for sure!
