Beginner.

It's Monday...already.

Remember the last time you started something new. 

The excitement...sweat...maybe even a couple of tears?

That is every day life for a little one. Yet, we expect them to just JUMP IN. Don't be nervous, shy, or even scared.

 I think my tiny ballerina is excited, but still a little shy about her first class. 

I had a lot of fun painting this watercolor. Mostly the skirt part=0)

It's Monday. Maybe you will be inspired to be a beginner at something today.

XOXO,

Carol

My other job....

J-I wanna go home.

Me-We can leave as soon as your class is over.

J-I don't like swimming. And I'm feeling a little bit shy.

Me-You still need to learn how to swim and look how great you are doing. You are okay. 

J-I don't want to swim without my goggles. I don't like it.

Me-He's just trying to show you what it's like. In case you fall into water on accident. He's preparing you...so you know what it's like.

J-(crying...crying...crying)Okay, how many more minutes? 

Me-About 15 minutes.

J-Then I'm never coming back.

One day they will fit.

HOLA.

I've been working on a little ballerina.

She has one big wish...that those toe shoes will fit=0)

She looks a little disappointed, but she will be alright. LOL.

Do you have a little ballerina in your life that keeps asking you WHEN she will get her toe shoes?

I do and she hasn't even taken a ballet class. LOL.

Kiss your peeps.

My other job.....

J-I'm never going to get those ballerina slippers.

Me-You will sweetie. After we are all done with swim class, THEN ballet class.

J-Why? I really want those slippers.

Me-You won't wear toe shoes until you're bigger.

J-What did you say?

Me-You won't wear toe shoes until you're bigger.

J-UGHHHHHHH. Why? Angelina ballerina has them already.

Me-Well, she is a cartoon.

J-It's just not fair. You are so mean. You just don't want me to have them. Right?

Me-That's not true. 

J-Fine, but I'm still going to ballerina college when I'm big. 

A little magic.

Hi there. 

Just wanted to share a fun photo of a little birthday ballerina.

Look at that cute face.

I think she LOVED her birthday watercolor=0)

YAY.

Hope you have a great day.

Dancing in pink

Hola.

This morning I heard a song that made me want to dance. Not like the running man or anything like that. LOL. Something slower and with meaning...contemporary. 

So, I quickly made a sketch to remember the moment...the feeling. 

Then I thought that the girl looked more like a ballerina. 

So, I had a FLASH(and I was making something special for a little dancer).

I started a new watercolor.

I'm about half done. 

She's dancing with her pink shadow.

And the song plays on in my head...all day.
