"Mama, I think I am ready for pointe shoes."

Honestly, I hear this at least once a week. This comes from her idol, Danielle. This summer when we went to Tennessee, Marie met Danielle, one of her China Sisters Big Sister. And Marie...fell in love! So, we watch her Mom's blog for "Danielle Updates" and Marie remembers vividly that Danielle got pointe shoes. And so she wants them too! Here she is practicing.
