Well I have been inspired by Carrie and Gypsy to write about some childhood things.
Can you guess where I am in this photo? Here I will tell you a few things about me to help you guess: I am five years old, I have dark dark brown hair, I am wearing black ballet shoes even though I wanted pink.
OK OK ...all teasing aside, the midget on the right is me. YES, I am five years old there.
Mom put me in ballet class and here's what I remember. I know I loved to perform but in this class for some reason I felt silly and embarrassed. This teacher had all her students learn dances that together made a real ballet. The year I went to her dance school she did Alice in Wonderland.
I honestly don't remember much, I think most of the time and most of my life I am and was living in a fog, totally inside my head and not really paying attention to what others would or should. And I probably was doing that then too.
I do remember that my class had to sit in a circle and pretend to whisper something into the ear of the girl next to us. The teacher made it seem like it was the biggest deal and for some reason I don't know myself, I felt completely stupid doing this. So each time it was my turn the girls knew to pretend I did it, 'cause I just wouldn't and then take their turn.
But I do love this photo of me. It's adorable if I do say so myself. And seriously, I think it shows the potential of the adorableness of babies I could make with some lucky guy someday, wink wink ;-) So hey all you still single men out there...if you want your kids to even stand a chance at cuteness, you know where to apply.

I love this post, lol. Awww...look at you! So sweet. And yes, that's some good advertising you did there at the end...good genes ;)
I was in ballet too, I must have been like you, kinda in a fog. Still am in some ways I guess.
Love the photo :)
Nice picture, I would not have guessed you were that tiny one, I thought for sure you were "white barette" girl.
Drowsey, THANKS :-D
Always going for that markting angle. Can't help it! Yes it seems that we have many qualities alike, Ms. fellow Gemini.
Carrie, I think that girl was about eight or nine. Her sister is in the photo too. The sister is my age. As I said, I am the midget in the photo. I am only 5ft and eventually will shrink as most women do with age :-( There's only one way I can get larger...and I am not trying - HEEHEE.
What a cute picture. I took ballet as a kid too, I don't really remember much about it. I don't imagine I was too good at it. I am so completely uncoordinated.
Very sweet photo...it looks like the other girls were older than you...and sure you might not have payed attention to the teacher....you were only "5" !!!
Jessica, I am not all that coordinated either. I cannot partner dance very well. So sad because I love to do it.
Leezee52, I wish that was an excuse I could use. What can I say for myself now? I know, I am geriatric so ofcourse I don't hear. JUST KIDDING!
Some of the girls are older but a few were the same age. I was always the smallest in class. Used to bother me. Now I love it. Helps me get away with looking younger than I am! HEEHEE!
Gosh you were tiny and at 5ft you still are. I am 5'3" and I have always felt like a shortie. Funnily enough last Christmas our Dance School did Alice in Wonderland for their end of year concert. Emily was big Alice and Chelsea was Tweedle Dee. It was fantastic.
