Tomorrow

I am so excited to be taking Miss Moo Moo to see the ballet tomorrow. You can see some of the photos here, that were taken during the BCYB 'Nutcracker' production in 2006. It is going to be soooo great!

I was 24 years old before I went to my first ballet.



It was worth the wait. The first ballet that I saw was the amazing Matthew Bourne's production of Cinderella in the Picadilly Theatre in London. A revised version of this ballet will be playing again later this year. Lucky Londoners. I would really love to take Mr Moo to see that one.

But for now, I am bursting with happiness.

I'm taking my daughter to her very first ballet.

I needed a new pair of black ballet flats, so I decided, on a whim, to pop in to Country Road yesterday morning after school drop off. Not only did I end up with a pair of lovely black suede ballet flats but also:

these fantastic black boots for winter
black full length leggings - a must for this season
a black scarf - just because
and 2 black cardigans

Something you don't know about me is that, I really hate clothes shopping. I hate shopping centres and usually avoid them at all costs. But, a girl doesn't want to freeze this winter. And I did get to buy shoes!

At bedtime Miss Moo Moo asked me what the best part of my day was. I replied that it was two things:

• looking through the shoe and handbag department with her (she is a born shopper)
• having a big snuggle with her while watching "Snow White" at rest time

She said " but what about buying boots and shoes, wasn't that the best part of you day?"

She gets it!
