I scored some real leather ballet slippers for Clara at the Twins and Triplets bazaar yesterday. I'm so pleased with myself. Clara loves them and danced to the Nutcracker Suite with me as soon as she put them on. She quickly proclaimed that she was Clara (obviously) and Leo was the Nutcracker!

So, here they are...

Clara the leaping ballerina.

AND


The Nutcracker himself.

Of course I also had to capture Clara's precise first position too. We'll have to consult with Auntie Laura for more ballet positions.
