Ballerina

Mattie is going to be in the Nutcracker this winter. She is very excited and takes her ballet very serious. She refuses to smile while doing ballet. "Ballerinas don't smile" that is what mattie tells me. Yesterday she became worried that she couldn't remember her whole dance. So she put on her ballet shoes, and began practicing. After about an hour of serious practice that was in the living room and then in the kitchen and back to the living room. I notice the soft snoring instead of ballet sounds. She had fallen asleep while practicing. I took this chance to snap a few pictures on my ballerina.
