Abby-roo

The thing that made it extra special is that she was conscious of her audience. She knew when she shook her little tail at the seated parents that it was cute and funny. But she was also looking just a tad intimidated.

Her ears came off during the final thing and she tried to keep going. She looked to her teacher who told her to just toss them. But two helpful little girls (or more?) would run and get them for her each time. And Abby (as the oldest 4 year old on the planet) held out her hand to try to stop them, kept whispering, "It's okay, it's fine" but each time the helpful good-hearted little ballerina would force them into her hand.

Miss Caroline finally rushed up and grabbed them from the floor to keep it from happening again and I think Abby was afraid she'd done something wrong.

Either way she just needed some *time* after the whole thing was over.

Zoozie and Gramma were there to witness the cuteness.
