Thoroughly Thankful Poetic Thursday#194


 Today is Poetic Thursday hosted by our pals Teddy and Angel Sammy at Two Spoiled Cats


Angel Sammy/Pam mentioned they had given us a ballet picture years ago...

They did in 2018  Madi wrote the poem.  I repeat the poem today and this time I have the real photo.

 Tiny Dancer

by Madi(son) D Cat

When sissy was wee, around about three 
she told mom a tiny dancer I want to be.
She dreamed of tutu's and ballet shoes.
On her toes she wanted to stand. 
There were no classes for girls under four.
Within a few months Mom looked some more.
She found a dancing class with an open door.
Sissy's smile of glee brightened the room
As she danced and twirled and learned to "*plies and push the floor away"
*is heels touching and toes pointing out
She learned poise and posture life's lessons galore.

******

Sis of Angel Madi 

Note Mom:
The teacher was just the best she had all kinds of phrases that helped the younger children learn steps...one I remember, 
"pliés and push the floor away"  





Thankful to you all for you lovely birthday wishes!!
Especially THANKFUL to  my sweet hubby took his first journey out of the house (since the Crud jumped on us). He went to Hallmark for our Traditional Bday treat.

  7. We are glad you were able to have a nice birthday despite the recent illnesses. Mom loved to dance when she was little. In her first recital they did a teanpot dance where they danced to a song called I'm a little tea pot. She stopped dancing in about fifth grade. Lots of little girls enjoy dance class.

  15. A fun birthday plate for sure. How we love that photo of Sissy. The grandgirls here did their first ballet classes at a studio called A Fairy Tale Ballet. They got to wear princess costumes and danced their hearts away. These first experiences led them both down the trail of dance of all sorts for so many years.
